Capital Gymnastics
National Training Center
Team Rules and Policies
2010-2011
*To participate in Capital Gymnastics Center's team program, your child must be a member of the Capital
Gymnastics Center...in addition a member of Usag if competing. A yearly fee of $125.00 will be
automatically debited from your account on July 1.
*Tuition is a yearly amount divided into twelve equal payments due on the first day of each month.
Tuition is based on workout level(not hours of instruction per week).
There are two payment options for all team members. Tuition can either be paid by check for a quarter or
for monthly payments, you must enroll in our electronic funds transfer system (EFT). EFT's will be
debited on the fifth of each month from your account. Monthly checks are not accepted. Capital will
assess a $25.00 fee for all accounts which are returned unpaid. Forfeiture of the student's spot will occur
if tuition remains unpaid for 60 days beyond the due date. For those wanting to pay quarterly, we offer a
5% discount or 10% for two or more students in our competitive program. Quarterly payments are due
July 1, Oct. 1, Jan. 1, and April 1.
NO REFUNDS will be given for quarterly payments(even if your child discontinues during a quarter).
If your child advances during a quarter, you will be responsible for the difference in tuition from the date
of advancement.
*There will be NO REFUNDS (no exceptions). There are also no adjustments made to tuition payments
unless an injury is sustained during a scheduled workout at Capital Gymnastics Center. Here, a
discussion with management is necessary.
*Team members will comply with all posted Capital Gymnastics Safety Rules now existing or
subsequently made by coaches and/or owner.
*During the year the cancelling of scheduled practices may be necessary due to coaches' obligations at
other levels or competitions. We recognize this is not preferable, however to run our competitive
programs, this will sometimes be necessary. When possible, we will provide a substitute coach, but are
not required to do so. These practices will not be made up nor will a refund be offered. We will
do our best to keep missed practices to a minimum. Other situations which sometimes occur might be:
coach's travel with other levels, coach's clinics, coach's illness, set up for home meets and gym
maintenance.
*We require all team members to attend all practices the week before a competition.
Any team member not completing this requirement can be scratched from the upcoming competition.
*Any team member not able to complete the required skills at his/her level will be scratched from that
event at an upcoming competition.
*Competition in gymnastics requires travel to scheduled competitions. Parents should be aware of the
travel involved and must understand that team members are expected to compete in ALL meets,
regardless of travel. Plan your time to arrive at the meet location early....1/2 hour before sign in.....or
otherwise planned by the coach.
If you have not been advised....assume 1/2 hr earlier than the scheduled sign in ....Your gymnast works
hard for these days and needs time to be comfortable with their surroundings and get meet ready. When
you sign up with Capital and have signed the document (the one signed each year acknowledging these
rules and policies) you are agreeing to the terms of travel as determined by Capital Gymnastics National
Training Center and it's staff.
*All team members will be assessed a competition fee determined by level. These fees are to cover
entry fees to competitions,coaching fees and coach's travel expenses to competitions. This is a set
amount determined by level. THIS FEE IS NOT ADJUSTABLE (regardless of the number of competitions
your child is able to attend). If your child advances during the season, you will be responsible for both
the increase in tuition and the increase in competition expenses.
*All team members must purchase a team uniform, appropriate to their level, from Capital Gymnastics.
Order forms may be obtained from the office. Most uniform items are special order items and may not be
exchanged or returned.
*At Capital Gymnastics, we expect our coaches to conduct themselves professionally when attending
competitions. We ask that parents also conduct themselves courteously and respectfully when attending
competitions. Under NO
circumstances will a parent enter the competition floor unless a coach representing Capital Gymnastics
has requested them to. If a conflict arises during a competition between you and the coach, we ask that
you WAIT until you return to Capital Gymnastics to schedule a time to discuss your concerns with the
coach. The competition site is not the appropriate place to address these matters.
*At Capital Gymnastics, we provide a place for parents to wait for the completion of their athlete's
training. When observing workouts please refrain from "coaching"
your child from the sidelines. We provide highly trained coaches to instruct your child and we feel this is
damaging to the coach/athlete relationship. Any parent,who cannot observe without comments, will be
ASKED TO LEAVE THE GYM until the completion of the workout.
*All team members are expected to treat all teammates and coaches with respect and courtesy. Any
team member not conducting themselves within the expectations of Capital Gymnastics may be
expelled from the competitive program.
*I the event of inclement weather, you must call the gym and also check our website. If there are any
schedule changes, you will hear a message on our phone line indicating these changes or will see a
notice posted on the front page of our website. We do not follow county school closings. Cancellations
due to inclement weather will not be rescheduled.
