REGISTRATION POLICIES
Every child who attends a class at Chimo Gymnastics must be registered. Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class and unregistered students will be directed to the Chimo office. Coaches do not have the ability to register students.
COVID-19
In case of any gym closures due to COVID-19, 2 weeks and under no refund or credits will be applied. Closure of 3 weeks or more refunds will be applied, with a 5% holdback to cover online fees.
TRANSFERS
Space permitting, transfers between classes are permitted within the first two weeks of the session. A $15.00 administrative charge is applied.
CLASS CANCELLATIONS/Under enrolled Classes
Chimo reserves the right to cancel classes that do not meet minimum enrollment, and will cancel classes with an enrollment of 1–3 students. Under most circumstances, cancellations will happen one to two weeks prior to the start date and families will be notified via phone and email. Students from cancelled classes may be transferred to another class free of charge.
AGE
Students enrolled in sessional programs must be the age of the specific class by session start date. Students enrolled in year-long programs must be the age of the class as of December 31. Chimo Gymnastics reserves the right to withdraw or transfer students who have been registered in an incorrect age category.
MEDICAL / LEARNING NEEDS
Chimo works to accommodate the needs of all students. Parents/guardians are asked to inform the club at the time of registration of any allergies or physical, behavioural or specific learning needs that we need to be aware of to allow us to create the best experience for each and every child. Failure to disclose gives Chimo the right to withdraw or transfer the child should it be determined that we are unable to provide a safe and/or appropriate learning environment for all.

With parental consent, Chimo reserves the right to photograph and film students for advertising and publicity purposes and use these photos and videos at no charge. Parental consent is requested at time of registration.
