All classes, with the exception of Freeplay, are available on a membership only basis, paid by direct debit.
Freeplay is booked on a Pay As You Go (PAYG) basis only.
These terms and conditions cover both types of booking: for membership direct debit classes refer to Gymnastics Membership (Direct Debit Only) and Freeplay PAYG refer to Pay As You Go Bookings.

This section refers to gymnastics memberships (paid via Direct Debit) only
A contract for Gymnastics Class Membership will come into existence between you and us upon completion of the following:
Successful completion of the online member sign up, including:
Completion of the direct debit instruction.
Payment of pro rata monies due in advance.
Acceptance of these terms and conditions.
Thereafter payment of Gymnastics Programme fees are due monthly, in advance and are payable by direct debit. sportscotland aim to take membership payments on the 1st of each month. Where the 1st of a month falls on a non-banking day, payment will be taken on the next available day after. This date cannot be changed.
You should note that the direct debit amount payable is not a monthly subscription fee. The class schedule runs for 39 weeks per year and some months will therefore have either no scheduled classes, or less classes, based on the planned programme. The direct debit amount is one twelfth (1/12) of the annual payment made by the participant based on 39 weeks of activity over the year.
The direct debit is a fixed monthly payment, dependent on the length and number of classes enrolled. Should a participant be unable to attend a class for any reason please note that no refunds will be due.
Should your child change class we will automatically amend the payment amount to reflect this, if pricing changes. No additional direct debit form is required.
Should your child take on a second class we will automatically amend the payment amount to reflect this. No additional direct debit form is required.
Any payments made either by direct debit or upfront payment are non-refundable.
The direct debit holder can cancel future payments at any time by contacting their bank. If you cancel your direct debit payment, this will be seen as cancellation, with participant space forfeited and removed from the class booking with immediate effect.
If you wish to re-join at any point after cancelling, we cannot guarantee a place in your child’s original class. The new member sign up process will apply as outlined above.
Where you are paying for multiple memberships, such as two or more gymnastics classes or fitness membership, and only wish to cancel one membership or class you must contact the reception team. The relevant adjustments will then be made to your direct debit.
If you cancel your direct debit in error and you intend for the participant to return to the class, please contact our reception team to discuss your options.
This section refers to pay as you go bookings only
The Freeplay class is booked as a PAYG (Pay As You Go) basis and subject to availability.
PAYG bookings including Freeplay are made upon receipt of full payment for the class. Bookings for these classes can be made up to, but not in excess of, 7 days advance of the class.
Cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance of the class start time may be eligible for a refund. Refund requests can be made by contacting our reception team.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance of the class start time are non-refundable.
