Terms of Membership and Code of Conduct

Terms of Membership

Membership

Membership is a monthly payment. Classes run during school term time, and your payment stays the same every month so the cost is spread evenly across the year rather than costing more per class in term time.

Term dates are sent to you at the start of each term.

Joining

There is a one-off joining fee. It covers your child's Jungle t-shirt, their first month of training, and their licence and insurance for the first year.

The monthly payment starts after that, and it is the same amount whenever in the year your child joins.

Licence and insurance

Every gymnast must hold a current licence and insurance to train. Year one is included in the joining fee. After that it renews once a year.

It is not refundable once paid, and it is never charged to anyone who has already given notice.

Fees

Our current fees are given to you when you join and are available at any time on request. We will give at least 30 days' notice in writing before any change.

Giving notice

Notice is 30 days, by email to info@junglegymnastics.co.uk. It runs from the day we receive it, and your child is welcome in every class up to the end of it.

A payment falling inside your notice period is still due. Nothing is taken after your notice has ended, and there is nothing further to pay.

Missed classes

We do not refund or credit individual missed classes, and places cannot be carried into the next term. If your child is going to miss a run of classes through injury or illness, tell us and we will do what we can.

If a payment does not go through

We will let you know and try again. Nobody loses their place over one failed payment. If it stays unpaid for 15 days we may release the place to someone on the waiting list.

Who pays

The card or bank account used must belong to you, or be used with the account holder's permission. We only ever take the amounts set out when you join, and we never take a payment that has not been agreed.

The timetable

Class times, days and venues can change. We will always give you as much notice as we can.

Photographs

We sometimes take photographs and video in class for our website and social media. Tell us at any time if you would rather your child was not included, and they will not be.


Code of Conduct

Gymnasts

  • Arrive on time and ready to train, in kit, with long hair tied back.
  • No jewellery, watches or hard hair accessories. Bare feet in the gym.
  • Listen to your coach first time, every time. Safety in gymnastics depends on it.
  • Never use the equipment unless a coach has asked you to.
  • Look after each other. Encourage, never mock, and keep your hands to yourself.
  • Tell a coach straight away if you are hurt, unwell, or something does not feel right.
  • Look after the gym and help put equipment away when asked.

Parents and carers

  • Drop off and collect on time. Children are signed in and out of every session.
  • Tell us in advance about injuries, illness or anything that affects training.
  • Let the coaches coach. Please do not instruct from the side of the gym.
  • Speak to the coaching team, not to another family's child.
  • Any concern, raise it with us directly and privately. We would always rather know.
  • Stay in the viewing area and keep younger siblings with you.
  • Treat the coaches, the venue and other families with respect. We will do the same.

Coaches

  • Every gymnast is safe, included and treated fairly, whatever their ability.
  • Qualified, insured, DBS checked, and never alone with a child out of sight.
  • Progress at the child's pace. Never push a gymnast past what is safe.
  • Set the standard for behaviour and language in the gym.
  • Report any safeguarding concern the same day, without exception.

If the code is not followed

We will talk to you first. It is almost always a conversation and nothing more. Where behaviour puts a child or a coach at risk, we may ask a gymnast or a family to step away from the club, and we will say why in writing.
