Team Training: Is held at Stumpf’s Gymnastics Center (“SGC”) located at 2187 Wehrle Drive. SGC is a separate organization from the AcroJets Gymnastics Booster Club, Inc. (“the Club”). Eligibility for the competitive teams, level placement, and recommendation for Team-Member status in the Club is determined by SGC and its USAG trained coaching staff. The Club is not qualified to make these determinations nor does it set SGC qualification guidelines or requirements. Gymnasts that train at SGC are subject to the rules and policies determined by and at the sole discretion of SGC. Contact SGC directly for information on SGC policies and training costs and fees.* This field is required.I understand that team training occurs at SGC, SGC is a separate organization from the AcroJets Booster Club, Inc. and that SGC has its own policies and fee schedules. Team-Member status in the Club is subject to the recommendation of SGC and its USAG trained coaching staff.
I agree.

22
Team Member Annual Fee* This field is required.The Club utilizes USAG certified coaches to accompany its competitive teams to local and travel gymnastics meets. These coaches are reimbursed for travel and food expenses, and paid a set session fee on an independent contractor basis (contracts are negotiated annually between the Club and the independent coach). Coaching expenses vary based on meet schedules and prospective travel schedules (in a normal season, total annual costs including overhead are approximately $80,000-$100,000 for the boys and girls teams combined). All Team-Members share in these costs through an annual Team-Member fee and assessments. To help more WNY youth participate in amateur, competitive gymnastics by keeping costs reasonable, the Club runs fundraising events to raise additional funds and cover a portion of the total annual costs mentioned above. Together with the annual Team-Member fees, fundraising proceeds typically cover all projected coaching costs from the start of the gymnastics season through State Championships. Additionally, a limited amount of funds typically remain to cover a portion of coaching expenses associated with Regional and National competitions (see Assessment Fees on next slide). Payment of the annual Team-Member fee is usually made in two installments, one in September and one in October. The total fee varies based on the travel requirements for each competitive group for a specific season, and is normally set after all meet schedules are received and approved, usually in early September. I understand that Team-Membership in the Club requires an annual Team-Member fee payable by check to “AcroJets Gymnastics Booster Club” or Venmo @acrojetsgymnastics and that an annual fee deposit of $150 per gymnast is due no later than 9/15/2025, and remaining balance (amount TBD in early September once all meet schedules have been received) due by 10/17/2025. Further, I understand the deposit is refundable until the Team Commitment date on 10/17/25, and that after 10/17/25 the deposit is not refundable under any circumstance. When paid, the remaining balance is not refundable after 11/1/2025. If the gymnast participates in any clinic or meet before 11/1/2025 and seeks a refund on Team Fees, the refund will be prorated.
I agree

23
Assessment Fees* This field is required.Special Assessment Fees: These fees apply to gymnasts that qualify for Regional and National championships, and to gymnasts who participate in all “special teams” and/or elite development opportunities and meets. Each year, there is a “base budget” set for these events and groups. Associated coaching expenses that exceed this base budget will be divided equally among participating gymnasts and, once assessed, payment of these fees is due to the Club within 30 days. Participants must notify the club of their selection for any “elite or special teams”. I understand that assessment fees are in addition to the Team-Member annual fee discussed, and, if applicable, I will be billed for the cost of coaching expenses that exceed the base budget for all higher level competitive events, such as regional and national championships and elite/regional training opportunities. Payment is due in full within 30 days of notification, or I must negotiate an alternative payment schedule with the Club.
I agree
I do not agree
24
Meet Registrations* This field is required.Each gymnast is responsible for the payment of his or her individual meet registration fee for each competition he or she will attend. These registration fees are not assessed by the Club, they are set by and at the discretion of the gym or organization that hosts each event. Fees vary. The Club collects registration fees from each gymnast and submits the registrations. Payment deadlines are established and a due date schedule is included with the meet schedule for each competitive group. The goal is to give families 14 days to submit a payment for a gymnastics competition, but last minute meet additions made by coaches may reduce this time frame. Registration fee payments must be received on or before each due date. Late payments cannot be accepted. Payments must be submitted via Venmo (@acrojetsgymnastics) or by a check placed in the Black Team Mailbox in the SGC foyer (one check per meet). Checks must be payable to “AcroJets Gymnastics Booster Club.” Checks written for multiple meet fees cannot be accepted. In most circumstances, registration fees are non-refundable. I understand that the Acrojets website has registration sheets posted, and it's my duty to check to make sure that my child's registration fee has been received. Please allow 24 - 48 hours for the team president to post updates to the registration sheet.
I agree. The only way to register my child for a meet is to send the registration fee by venmo or check.
I do not agree
25
Venmo Payments* This field is required.If you choose to send a venmo payment for meet registrations or team fee payments, enter in the notes or 'What's this for?" field: Meet name - Gymnast Name - Level and send to @acrojetsgymnastics Also, do NOT click the "turn on for purchases" button, as Venmo will then not send 100% of the money paid to Acrojets. You will be billed the difference if you mistakenly click this. One venmo should be sent for each individual payment. Do not combine registration fees for multiple meets in a single venmo. Multiple venmo payments should be sent. I understand that meet registration fees must be submitted to Acrojets Booster Club by the established due date or my gymnast will not be registered for the meet. Venmos for registration fees will be returned if submitted late, submitted for the wrong amount, and/or submitted for multiple meets.
I agree
This is not applicable to me as I will be paying by check.
26
Check Payments* This field is required.If you choose to send a check payment for meet registrations or team fee payments, please include in the memo line: Meet name - Gymnast Name - Level One check should be written for each individual payment, payable to Acrojets Booster Club. Do not combine registration fees for multiple meets in on single check. Multiple checks should be written. Bounced checks: If a check is returned to the Club for any reason, any fees assessed by the bank are your responsibility. When re-submitting payment, the bounced check fees must be included in the total payment. I understand that meet registration fees must be submitted to Acrojets Booster Club by the established due date or my gymnast will not be registered for the meet. Checks for registration fees will be returned if submitted late, written for the wrong amount, and/or written for multiple meets.
I agree.
This is not applicable to me as I will be paying by Venmo.
27
Travel Expenses* This field is required.Gymnast and Family Travel Expenses: All expenses related to traveling to and/or attending competitions or other gymnastics events are the responsibility of the gymnasts and their families. I understand that all family and gymnast travel related expenses are my responsibility and are not covered by the Club.
I agree
I do not agree
28
Meet Registration Refunds* This field is required.I understand that in most cases registrations fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Some meets have a scratch date that can be found on their meet website - scratch requests may require documentation from a physician when due to injury. When a timely scratch is requested, an attempt will be made to secure the refund. I understand that whether or not a return is issued is within the sole discretion of the host gym. I understand that scratches from a meet can ONLY BE REQUESTED by emailing acrojetsgymnastics@gmail.com AND telling the coach. I understand that the Acrojets website has a document where I can check the status of my refund. I can access this at any time to make sure my request has been received. Only informing the coach, level rep, or board member that your gymnast needs to scratch will not result in a refund being requested. Refunds will be distributed if and when a refund is received by Acrojets from the host gym - this is often not until after the season ends in May/June.
I agree
I do not agree
29
Questions about a Meet?* This field is required.Under no circumstances is a parent or gymnast to contact a host gym directly. Some of these meets have hundreds of gymnasts competing in a single weekend. They arrange a meet schedule and judges at least two weeks ahead of time. They cannot field calls from parents asking when their daughter/son will complete. It looks in very poor taste for our gym and for our booster club. All questions should be directed to your child's coach and/or Acrojets Booster Club.

I agree to check gymnastic meet websites only for questions about a meet, and not to contact them by phone/email.

Fundraising and Volunteering* This field is required.The Club works hard to keep participation costs reasonable so that more WNY youth may experience the benefits of competitive gymnastics. These events are not possible without help from Team and Club members. VOLUNTEERING: Team-Members agree to volunteer at fundraising events and at meets hosted by the Club. PLEASE NOTE - HOURS ARE THE SAME FOR XCEL TEAM MEMBERS AND JN TEAM MEMBERS. They agree to the following commitment: *Family with one gymnast: 8 hours *Family with 2 or more gymnasts: 8 hours plus 4 extra hours per gymnast on Team (i.e.: 2 children = 12 hours, 3 children = 16 hours). *Gymnasts over age 15 may work his or her own hours in some volunteer positions FUNDRAISING: Throughout the year, the Club runs multiple fundraising events and hosts meets at Stumpf’s Gymnastics Center. Fundraising and meet proceeds help reduce costs by covering a portion of coaching costs and Club operating costs. The Club asks each family to participate in at least two fundraisers. Participation can include ordering a to-go dinner at the Italian dinner night, attending the Meat Raffle or other event, and/or purchasing any fundraising items sold throughout the year. It’s so easy to help out! I understand the importance of volunteering and, as part of my commitment to the Team, I agree to complete the volunteer hours as outlined above. I understand that hours accumulate year after year, and that hours are posted on the Acrojets website. I understand that fundraising benefits everyone in the program and I will do my best to participate in a minimum of two fundraisers per competition year.
I agree to complete my volunteer hours and previous unfulfilled hours.
I do not want to complete volunteer hours. I will seek to become a supporting member for $400. As a perk, my volunteer hour commitment is waived. This fee is in addition to meet registration fees and team fees.
