The regular season begins May 2017 and runs through April 2018. Worlds & Summit bid earning Cheer Teams and Dance Teams end at the end of April or beginning of May (depending on event dates). For your convenience, the season commitment consists of monthly tuition installments and All Star competition fees and expenses, based on full season commitment – Meaning all fees must be paid (even if you withdraw).
· ALL new and existing Premier customers are required to pay tuition installments electronically:
o Autopay (credit/debit cards)
· Your payment will be processed on or about the 20th of the month for the upcoming month’s tuition installment. You may choose to go in to the parent portal and make the payment yourself BEFORE the 20th each month. The draft dates for the year are posted in the gym, in this packet, and also is located at the bottom of your monthly statements.
· If your payment is declined for any reason, you will be notified via email, phone call or receive a statement on the early bird date after all accounts have been drafted. You are still responsible for making your payment on the Early Bird Date to avoid paying full price for tuition. Tuition automatically goes up $10 per team at midnight on the Early Bird Date.
· If your account information changes (new card, expiration date, stolen card, new address, new checking account, etc.) you are responsible for changing the information online to avoid increased tuition or suspension from the team.
· NO REFUNDS
· If a check (personal/paper check) is returned for insufficient funds, there is a $30 NSF fee. If a personal check is returned, we will no longer be able to accept personal checks for your account.
