A priority registration system gives current students first opportunity to get into their desired class. Space is limited, make sure you register on time!
Students may sign up any time after the classes have started if there are spaces available. They will receive a prorated price. We reserve the right to cancel classes or events due to low enrollment.
The first time you register, you must come in during office hours to fill out a registration packet. After New Kent Gymnastics Center has your information, you may register by phone (including voice messages) or email if there is a method of payment on file. Registrations will be processed in the order they were received starting AFTER 9:00 am of the registration week. Full payment is expected at the time of registration. NKGC accepts cash, checks and major credit cards. Registration forms and waivers must be filled out completely and signed by the parent or guardian before participation. Paperwork needs to be updated every year or sooner if any information changes.
Participants may receive a full refund for any reason only if it is requested before the second class meets. Because of this guarantee, there are no class trials.
Make-up Policy
Holiday closings, weather and cancellations
If New Kent Gymnastics Center closes for any reason, you will be offered a make-up. Whole classes may be rescheduled or you may be asked to attend a different day or time. If you cannot attend the scheduled make-up, no credits or refunded tuition will be given. Holiday closings and inclement weather closings will be posted on the NKGC website. New Kent Gymnastics Center MAY NOT BE in conjunction with the school system, please check the website before you arrive.
Missed Classes
If you miss a class for any reason you may request a make-up. Make-up classes are a courtesy and will only be offered if it does not jeopardize the safety and integrity of the classes. Arrangements must be made ahead of time. Every effort will be made to find an appropriate make-up class. If none are available, no credits or refunded tuition will be given. You are allowed ONE make-up per session but if there is an injury or emergency, please contact New Kent Gymnastics Center management. Make-ups must be arranged within the same session as the absence.
Observation Rules
New Kent Gymnastics Center welcomes parent and guest observation of classes, however, to have the highest degree of safety, the following rules will be strictly enforced:
* At no time is a parent allowed to communicate with or coach their child from the lobby. Children need to be focused on their coach and their task, not the parent's critiques. Cheering is welcome but instruction is not. Your child may not be doing their assignment perfectly and that's ok! They will get better with time and practice. If your child's coach needs your help with a behavioral issue, they will get your attention. If there is a problem, alert your child's coach. Otherwise, thank you for respecting this rule.
* No one is allowed on the matting or equipment unless instructed to do so. Parents, siblings, guests and anyone else not enrolled in the class being held at the time, must remain in the enclosed lobby area.
* Keep your other children with you and safe while observing. Please respect NKGC property by cleaning up after yourself and not allowing rough play.
Pick Up/Arrival Procedure
Please arrive for class and pick-up on time. Alert us if you will be late picking up your child or if someone else is picking them up. Do not leave the building during class if your child needs help going to the bathroom, otherwise, feel free come and go once your child's class has begun. All children not participating in class must be under direct supervision by an adult inside the facility and in the parking lot.
Attire
In the interest of safety, it is highly recommended that girls wear leotards with no skirts. A variety of sizes and selections are available for purchase at New Kent Gymnastics Center. They can be worn with fitted shorts or pants. Boys may wear fitted shirts and shorts or pants. Footed tights and socks are not recommended. Hair pulled back and no jewelry except for post earrings.
