Terms & Conditions
PARENTS
As the parent or legal guardian of the gymnast, I hereby consent to their participation in the programme offered by the MG Gymstars Gymnastics. I recognise that there are risks of injuries that can occur in activities in sports such as these. I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THAT RISK
• I am aware that my child will train on all available apparatus at the gymnastics club.
• The club is insured by the scheme of the IGA Association.
• I agree to pay fees for my child 4 weeks prior to start of each term to prevent them losing the space. If the fee is paid late, you could incur a charge.
• No parents in the gym at all times unless in an emergency.
• Children are to be dropped off and collected by the main doors to the hall unless arranged otherwise.
• Please arrive 5 minutes prior to the class ending to collect your child. (If you are more than 10 minutes late, you could incur a charge)
• Gymnasts may be photographed occasionally for the website, press reports etc. If you do not wish for your child's/children's photograph to be used please state this on your Class4kids account.
GYMNASTS
• Gymnasts please be punctual. If you arrive more than 10 mins late you will not be able to join
in as the warm-up is a very important part of the session. This session will not be refunded.
• Gymnasts must be suitably dressed in MG Gymstars mandatory uniform for training and club events; Girls = Red or black club leotard / Boys = plain black shorts and MG Gymstars T-shirt or club leotard and shorts. The uniforms must be purchased from our coaches within 3 weeks of joining the club.
• No jewellery at all to be worn at any time in the gym (including small ear studs, ankle bracelets or anything religious that may get caught)
• Long hair must be tied back and neat.
• All outdoor shoes to be taken off before coming into the gym.
• Bad behaviour will not be tolerated and if it persists the gymnast will be asked to sit out or leave the gym.
• Gymnasts are not to leave the gym during a training session unless they have asked for
permission from a coach.
REFUND POLICY: NO REFUND OR CREDITS FOR CANCELLED OR MISSED CLASSES
• MG Gymstars is committed to keeping class sizes small. Because of this commitment, a student enrolled for a term often prohibits other students from enrolling in that term. Therefore, once sessions have started, no refunds will be given if a student withdraws from classes, with the exception of medical reasons. In such situations, we reserve the right to request a written acknowledgement from a licensed medical practitioner before we grant a refund. In which case, an in house credit may be given from the date we receive the written acknowledgement. Any refund or credit must be claimed at the time of the incident.
• Venue disputes - Any personal disputes with the centre or areas surrounding the centre will not result in a refund by MG Gymstars.
• Cancelled classes - If MG Gymstars cancels a class, we will always try to make the session up during the holidays (including Bank holidays). That class may be held at a different time due to the venues/staff availablity. Refunds will not be issued if this has been possible but if not, it will be credited towards the following term. (Refunds and credits are at the managment discretion and not guaranteed).
ZERO TOLERANCE: ABUSIVE OR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR
• Our staff come to work to care for others, and it is important for all members of the public and our staff to be treated with courtesy and respect. We hire facilities from various leisure centres and these centre's rules must be followed at all times for Health and Safety reasons. We have a Zero Tolerance policy. This means that aggressive or violent behaviour towards our staff or any member of the public within our gym premises will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Anyone refusing to follow the venue's rules, giving verbal abuse to members of staff, either in person, over the phone or via email will result in the removal of the club.
