8. All students should be on time for class and can leave only upon being dismissed. Students are permitted to make up one class per month. The make-up must be taken during the same month as the missed class. Arrangements for make-up classes are to be made through the instructor or front desk.

9. Major holidays will be observed, and the gym will be closed those days. There is no deduction in tuition for holidays, as tuition is based on a full year of classes and not lessons per month.

10. If the New Hanover County Schools are closed due to inclement weather, Coastal Tumblegym will also be closed. Again, make-up classes will be scheduled to insure gymnasts receive their lessons.

11. If a student is responsible for introducing a friend to lessons and the friend registers, a $5.00 credit will be received the next month.

These rules and regulations are designed for the safety of your child as they participate in gymnastics, tumbling and cheerleading. We believe that a positive teaching environment will provide your children the confidence to participate in a lifetime of physical activities. We feel learning should be fun and positive. If there are any questions or concerns, we encourage you to please talk to the instructor when classes are not in session.

THE REGISTRATION FEE IS TO BE RENEWED ANNUALLY. (TWELVE MONTHS FROM THE INITIAL PAYMENT.)
