Information

Registering

It’s easy.  Just fill out the registration form, pick your class, and bring it in or mail it to us with your check as soon as possible.

Class Schedule

We break our year into monthly classes to make it easier for you.  You can join a class at any time during the month, and we will not charge you for the classes that you’d missed.  Fees are pro-rated by the number of classes that remain.

Fees

Payments for each month are payable on or before the 1st day of the class session.  Late payments are subject to late fees.  There is a 10% discount for a second child or class.  This discount does not apply to competing teams or private lessons.  The NON-REFUNDABLE registration/insurance fee of $40 per family – class and competing team students – payable upon registration covers the school year.

Payment

Please make checks payable to Willow Tree Gymnastics Academy.  Your cancelled check is your receipt.  There is a $53.00 charge for all returned checks.

Refund Policy

Fees, less a processing charge of $30.00, are refundable with written notification of cancellation prior to the student’s third class.  Please mail or drop off notification to Willow Tree Gymnastics, 1605 Ligonier Street, Latrobe, PA 15650.  All fees are non-refundable after a student has attended his or her third class.

Make-Ups

Remember, the best class for your child is his or her scheduled class, but sometimes even gold medal winning Olympic parents just can’t get there… Don’t panic. Call our office to say your child won’t be in and schedule a make-up.  Make-ups are limited to 2 times during a session and must be completed within that session.   Make ups must be scheduled in advance with the office.  Making up a cancelled class is not possible.

Parents

Parents may be an armchair judge through the viewing windows in the parent room. We know you want the best for your child, but just sit back and let the coaches coach–we want the best for your child, too!  Keep up with the latest news by checking the bulletin board in the parents’ room This is where we post information on classes and special events… and don’t forget to keep an eye on our website.  If you bring siblings along, they must be supervised at all times.  Please do not allow your children to perform gymnastics anywhere but in the gym with a coach.  Parents may not enter the gym unless they are invited by a coach.

Students

We know you can’t wait to get started, but all students must wait in the lobby area until your instructor calls you for class.  Willow Tree employees work very hard to keep the gyms clean and enjoyable for your class.  Please no food, drinks, candy, or chewing gum in the gyms.

Do not go on any equipment without coach’s supervision–your Mom or Dad is NOT your coach.

If furniture were certified safe for gymnastics, we wouldn’t need specialized equipment.  Please do not do gymnastics in the lobby or on/off the furniture.  Acting properly is very important to safety.  Any guest or student acting in an inappropriate manner will be asked to leave.  Continued misconduct will be cause for permanent dismissal from the program. (No refunds will be given).

Weather & Closings

If Latrobe School District decides conditions are too hazardous to open school, Willow Tree will not run any classes or if Latrobe Schools dismiss early, Willow Tree will not run evening classes.   Morning delays will result in no morning/day time classes at Willow Tree.   For bad weather conditions on Saturday or Sunday, call the gym or check the website.

What to Wear

  • For safety reasons–tie back long hair, remove all jewelry and avoid wearing baggy clothing.
