September-to-June Recreational Programs:
Students may receive up to five make-up classes during the September to June program, subject to availability.
Make-up classes must be booked in advance and are only available where there is space in an appropriate class. Availability may vary from week to week, and a specific day, time or class cannot be guaranteed.
Once a make-up class has been booked, it cannot be replaced if the student is absent from the make-up class. Unused make-ups have no cash value and do not carry over after withdrawal or into the next program year.
Competitive Fall to Spring Programs: There are no make-up classes for missed competitive classes.
Recreational Summer Programs: We offer up to 2 make-up classes for absences during our recreational summer programs. Since we run a limited number of recreational classes in the summer, make-up classes may be scheduled during one of our available September-to-June recreational classes, subject to availability.
Competitive Summer Programs: Unfortunately, there are no make-ups, refunds, or credits for missed summer competitive programs.
Camps, including PA Day, Winter Break, March Break, and Summer Camps: Unfortunately, there are no make-ups, refunds, or credits for missed camp days.
Cancellations and Withdrawals from Programs
Month-to-Month Recreational Programs
Leap’s September-to-June recreational programs use month-to-month enrolment. Families who wish to withdraw must provide 15 days’ written notice by email.
The withdrawal takes effect 15 days after Leap Gymnastics receives the written notice. Families remain responsible for any tuition payment that falls within the notice period.
Tuition for the current monthly billing period is not prorated, refunded or credited. For families paying monthly, future payments after the effective withdrawal date will be cancelled.
If tuition was paid in full, prepaid tuition for future months after the effective withdrawal date will be refunded, excluding non-refundable fees such as the Gymnastics Ontario participant registration fee.
Leap Gymnastics does not charge a cancellation or withdrawal fee.
Cancellation Before Recreational Classes Begin
Families who wish to cancel a recreational program registration before the program begins must provide 15 days' written notice by email before the first scheduled class.
If at least 15 days' notice is provided before the program begins, program fees paid may be refunded, excluding any non-refundable fees, such as the Gymnastics Ontario fee where applicable.
If less than 15 days' notice is provided before the program begins, the first month or billing period is not refundable.
Once the program has started, the regular recreational withdrawal policy applies.
Competitive Programs
Competitive program withdrawals are reviewed separately and may be subject to the terms outlined in the athlete's competitive program agreement.
Missed competitive classes are not eligible for make-ups, refunds, or credits.

Recreational Summer Programs run for a shorter period and have limited class availability.
Families who wish to cancel before the program begins must submit the request in writing by email before the first scheduled class. Cancellation requests may be reviewed based on the timing of the request and program availability.

What is the Gymnastics Ontario Registration Fee?
The Gymnastics Ontario Registration Fee is an annual fee that applies to each participant registered in an applicable Leap program.
- Why is it required? It registers the participant with Gymnastics Ontario and includes sport accident insurance coverage while participating in Gymnastics Ontario-sanctioned activities.
- How much is it? The fee is $50 per participant and is added at checkout when applicable. It is separate from program tuition.
- How often is it charged? The Gymnastics Ontario membership year runs from July 1 to June 30. The $50 fee is charged only once per participant during that membership year, regardless of how many applicable Leap programs the participant registers for.
- More information: More information about Gymnastics Ontario is available here: https://www.gymnasticsontario.ca
