Thank you for choosing Capital Gymnastics & Athletics! Our programs are designed to inspire those we work with to have fun, understanding that part of the fun is working hard and trying to improve as an athlete and as a person. We want all of our athletes to develop self-confidence and skills through their effort and dedication so that they can achieve their goals in sport and in life. We do ask that you know and follow a few basic FACILITY rules:
TUITION: Tuition is due at the time of enrollment and on the 25th of every month thereafter. We will not accept special requests for auto pay to be run on a different day, other than the 25th. There are NO additional registration fees or enrollment fees. A $15 late fee will be charged if tuition is not paid by the 1st of every month. If tuition is still unpaid by the 10th of the month, your student will be dropped from the class and account will be turned in for collection.
In order to resume class after being dropped due to non-payment, we require past due balance to be paid in full plus 1 month tuition paid in advance.
REFUNDS: There are NO tuition refunds for families who forget to drop before tuition is processed on the 25th of the month. You will be responsible for the next month’s tuition whether you choose to attend or not. In the case of a state mandated closure, like COVID 19, there will be no refunds. CGA will credit your tuition forward or allow make ups depending on the scenario.
PAYMENT METHODS: AUTO PAY – A credit card or bank account is required to enroll in classes. Credit Cards/ACH are processed on the 25th of each month to pay for the upcoming month.
