;: entry cost to the event, a small administrative fee, direct coaching cost at the event, travel expenses, judging fees, and possible staff replacement costs at the club. This will then be divided between the number of gymnasts taking part in the competition / event. Our aim is to not to generate income from these events, but to simply cover our own associated costs. - Please be aware that late payment may result in gymnasts not being entered in the competition/ event. Should you have any concerns about paying for an event, we encourage you to discuss this with us as soon as possible.

Competitions/ events on usual training days
- Please be aware that should an event fall on a training day, the gymnast’s usual session will be replaced by the competition/ event.
- No refunds will be given for these cancelled sessions; however the cost of the training session or sessions will be taken into account within the events fee.
Prime Acrobatics Reward Scheme
- Due to the specific focus and direction of the group, the participants will not be able to participate in the reward scheme.
- Should gymnasts enrol into one of our Plus Groups, we also recommend that they do not participate in a general class at Prime Acrobatics. This is to avoid overtraining and a conflict in coaching. However, if your child attends Floor & Vault, Performance or Display, and they wish to continue attending their general class, please build communication with us.
