Policies - Jump Start Gymnastics

Class Placement

Class placement for children 5 & under is primarily done by age. Class placement for school age children is by age and ability. Class placement by ability is at the discretion of Jump Start Gymnastics staff.

Class Schedule

Jump Start has a rolling registration system. You may enroll and un-enroll at your convenience. Students usually attend one class one time a week. Class lengths vary based on the age and skill level of the students.

Class Cancellations

Inclement Weather: If Jump Start personnel determine it is necessary to cancel classes due to bad weather, cancellations will appear on local TV stations or their websites, our website (www.jumpstartfun.com) and our Facebook page. Jump Start does not guarantee make up classes for classes missed due to inclement weather.

If at any time due to weather conditions you do not feel comfortable traveling to Jump Start to attend class, please notify the office and schedule a make up class time.

Holiday Breaks: Classes will not meet during scheduled holiday breaks. Please see the yearly schedule for any holiday class cancellations.

Make Up Policy

“NEW” Make Up Policy Effective June 6^th, 2022

Your tuition pays for a class spot regardless of your attendance. As a courtesy, we are offering scheduled make-up days and times for missed classes. This is different from our past make-up policy. Make up days and times will be held every other month on the first Saturday for any classes missed in the prior two months. Parents must pre-register students for make-up days/timesl through your online Customer Portal on our website. When registering for the make-up you will need to indicate in the note section which missed class date that you are making up.

You must notify our front office staff (by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by calling 309-692-5867 and leaving a voice mail) IN ADVANCE of the absence/missing class to qualify that date for our make-up Saturdays. You will schedule your make-up during the listed time of the class level you missed. If you schedule a make-up, and you fail to attend that class, you forfeit the right to a make-up for the class missed. Please honor the spirit of this privilege and use it only for illness, holidays, and emergencies.

Pre-Registration required.

If no payment is received within 72 hours, your account will be subject to a $20.00 late fee and the balance of account will be due immediately.

In order to avoid future auto-payments, the drop form must be completed ON or BEFORE the 20th of the month for the following month of classes. We do not credit or refund for past missed classes. Once you fill out a drop form, your child will be dropped from the class. Your child can continue to attend all classes for which payment has already been received.
