Do I get a makeup class when my child is absent?

Yes! We offer a makeup class for any absence and you may call or visit the office for scheduling. Students may do a makeup in any class within the same age group. Makeups are open to currently enrolled students only, do not expire (as long as the student is enrolled), have no cash value, and cannot be used in lieu of payment for classes. Makeups can be scheduled at either of our locations.

When required, competitive teams and Demo Group makeup classes will be scheduled as a group and families will be notified.

What should my child wear?

Gymsuits, shorts, t-shirts, and leggings are all acceptable. No crop tops, denim, belts, buckles, zippers, buttons, etc. please. Long hair must be tied back and no jewelry is permitted (except studs and sleeper earrings).

My schedule has changed. Can we switch to a different day?

You are welcome to transfer at any time, as long as there is space in another class. Class changes are free of charge, but must be in writing – please stop by the office or e-mail us at [email protected] with your request.

What are my payment options?

Monthly payments are due on or before the 1st of each month. For any monthly fees not received by the 1st of the month, a $10 late fee will be assessed on the 2nd. All unprocessed payments will be subject to a $25 fee.

Autopay: You may choose automatic monthly withdrawals from a VISA, MasterCard, or bank account.
Manual payment: You may pay by VISA, MasterCard, cash, or Debit/Interac in the office.

Upon registration, we require your first month’s fees, along with a Gymnastics Ontario registration fee, plus all applicable taxes. Your G.O. fee is valid annually July 1-June 30, and must be renewed to continue into the following season.

How do I know which class to register my child in?

Classes are grouped by age, so the class will correspond with your child’s age group. An exception is our advanced classes. If a student has achieved Bronze or higher in our level system, he or she may join an advanced class. If you are not sure, please call our office and we would be happy to help you.

Why do we have to pay the registration fee each year?

Gymnastics Ontario and Pickering Athletic Centre seasons run from July 1 to June 30 annually. Athletes, coaches, judges, and staff members all must be registered with Gymnastics Ontario in order to participate in any program. The fee covers insurance for any program, camp, event, or class at any Gymnastics Ontario affiliated club within that year. For more information on the Gymnastics Ontario registration fee, please click here.

Payment Policies

We offer monthly or semi-monthly withdrawals from either a credit card (VISA or MasterCard) or bank account. You may also pay by cash or Debit/Interac in the office. Monthly payments are due on or before the 1st of each month (1st and 15th for semi-monthly). For any monthly fees not received by the 1st of the month, a $10 late fee will be assessed on the 2nd (and 16th for semi-monthly). All declined and unprocessed payments will be subject to a $25 fee. An additional $10 late fee is applied every 10 days a fee is overdue.

Upon registration, we require your first month’s fees, along with a Gymnastics Ontario registration fee, plus all applicable taxes. Your G.O. fee is valid July 1 through June 30 annually.

Monthly fees are calculated based on a full-year program, then divided into 12 equal installments. We do not reduce tuition for months with stat holidays or raise tuition for months with five classes. The yearly fee has taken these circumstances into consideration. This allows our families the flexibility of switching classes at anytime without penalty and billing consistency.

Refund Policy

In the case of an early recreational withdrawal, Pickering Athletic Centre will refund any tuition that has been pre-paid for that month, less the 7 days written notice period. This will only apply if the rest of the account is up to date and in good standing.

Pickering Athletic Centre does not issue refunds for: 1) Gymnastics Ontario registration fee, 2) unused makeup classes, 3) statutory holidays, or 4) classes cancelled due to weather, power outage, or other means beyond our control. In the case of stat holidays and facility closures, a makeup class will be provided to replace the missed class.
