Frequently Asked Questions
What should my child wear to class?
For the safety of your child, our coaches, and our equipment, we have compiled a list of do's and dont's for appropriate attire in classes.
1. T-shirts that must be tucked in.
2. Shorts without zippers, buttons, or pockets.
3. Absolutely no jeans or jean shorts allowed.
4. Girls can choose to wear a one-piece leotard (no footed tights, skirts/skorts, or tutus)
5. All students with long hair must pull hair up with a hair tie.
6. Large bows and hair ornaments will cause discomfort when rolling.
7. Please take off all jewelry (rings, bracelets, chokers, and necklaces).
8. Karate students must wear their uniform in class.
When is tuition due?
Monthly tuition fees are due on or before the 5th of each month. There will be a $10 late fee charged on all accounts if tuition is not paid by the 5th of the month. All fees can be paid by cash, check, credit card, ACH Automatic payments from a checking or savings account, or payments can be made online.
What is the registration fee?
All families will be charged an annual registration fee of $24. This fee is good for one full year. Registration will be prorated at sign-up. Annual registration fees will be due on January 1st of each year. All registration fees are applied to administrative and insurance costs.
How do I withdraw from classes?
Parents must notify the office 30 days in advance to drop a student from classes. Only a written, paid notice given to our front desk with advance payment will be accepted. Please note: you are responsible for payment for your student's classes whether or not your student attends class until the time you notify the front desk via written notice. Please do not rely on your student to verbally let us know that he/she will no longer be attending classes.
If a student stops coming to class without notification, then the student's account will be charged for the 30 additional days. This charge will be for holding the student's place in that class instead of offering that place to one of the many on the waiting list.
What is the gym's yearly schedule?
VSC operates on a 48-week yearly calendar as opposed to a 52-week year. Therefore, there are 4 weeks out of the year that the gym will be closed and no makeups will be given. These weeks are as follows: ONE week during Spring, ONE week during Summer, ONE week during Fall, and ONE week at Christmas. If the gym is closed any other time (ex. Labor Day, Good Friday, etc.), you may schedule a makeup class for your child within the 2-month time period allowed by visiting the front desk at your convenience.
What is the gym's makeup policy?
It is best that your child attends class on a regular basis. Your account will not be prorated or adjusted for any missed classes because our staff is here to teach that class whether your child is present or not. If space is available, all students will be allowed to make up a missed class within a 2-month window. After 2 months, you will not be able to reschedule a missed class. You will receive an absence call or email from the front office the following day and you may reschedule at that time or the next time you are present in the gym.
Do I have to stay in the gym while my child is in class?
Parents of children who are under the age of 5 are required to stay in the facility during your child's class. Parents of children who are 5 years of age or older are not required to stay for class. However, we ask that you do come inside of the building to make sure that your child makes his/her way into class.
