Fees, Curriculum, and Policy
Is there any "additional fee"?
An annual membership with our provincial association (provincial governing body for the sport of gymnastics) is mandatory. Membership valid from July 1 to June 30 of subsequent year. This membership fee also includes an insurance. This fee is renewed every season (July - June)
If I want to change classes?
Please request the change in writing (email). If spots are available, a change of day/time can be made at a cost of $5/child/change. (exception: children qualifying to attend class in the next age group)
How long is the program?
Our season follows roughly the school year. Regular programs run from September to June of the subsequent year.
Our summer programming runs from July to August.
Can I join after the class has started?
Yes, our experienced coach will work with your child accordingly.
Your tuition fee will be pro-rated and the difference is reflected in your monthly installments.
What is the curriculum?
Our programming is based on the nationally approved CanGym program. All gymnast 6 yr+ will start in Level 1, learning basic fundamental movement patterns, and will progress through the 12 level system at their own pace throughout the gymnastics year. Classes will take place in our 20,000 square foot facility across all 4 women's events, and all 6 men's events. Participants in our Parent & Tot, and kinder programs also use equipment that is scaled down to their size.
How do I know if I have picked the right class for my child?
Just like school, you may choose the class according to age. Find the right age group and the day/time that fits your family schedule. We have low coach to student ratio that allows attention for each child. In larger class, students are split into sub groups according to age and experience.
Your child's progress will be tracked and assessed at specific times during the season, and each child will receive a report card. Every effort is made to coach each child according to his/her ability at the time. There is no need to change class after your child is awarded a level.
How do you communicate with parents?
We keep you informed of club news via email, sent from the online system you used to register. Please ensure you have selected to receive our messages in your Uplifter account so that you do not miss an important message about your class. If you have questions or concerns, the fastest way to reach us is by email at: ajax.acors@on.aibn.com.
Do you offer trial classes?
Our club has been serving the Ajax and Durham region for more than 50 years. From experience, we find dropping into an already established class can impact the integrity of the class for the other participants. For this reason, we do not offer trial classes during regular class times. Periodically, we will host an open house event that your family can sign up for in advance to try our programs.
