Time Freeze – Recreational Gymnastics
Recreational gymnastics direct debit members are entitled to time freezes in two (2) week blocks per occurrence and a maximum of six (6) weeks’ time freeze allowance per calendar year. All time freezes must be applied for in writing to FDLC at least seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the time freeze period. Requests cannot be backdated.

Christmas closure dates to be confirmed by Five Dock Leisure Centre staff at least 30 days prior.
Injury – Recreational Gymnastics
In the event of a minor injury we are unable to offer a makeup class or credit of fees; however, time freeze can be utilised by advising the Centre of the injury or illness on or before the date of time freeze application. In the event of a major injury sustained at FDLC gymnastics training that incapacitates the gymnast from attending classes, additional time freeze to the 6 weeks can be granted with supporting documentation.
Illness – Recreational Gymnastics
If your child becomes ill a one (1) week fee adjustment is available if supporting medical evidence is provided to FDLC prior to the commencement of the scheduled class. This can be utilised only twice per calendar year. A maximum of 2-weeks fee adjustment in addition to the 6-week time freeze is available for illness. Minor illnesses are not considered eligible for fee adjustment. Requests cannot be backdated.
Time Freeze – Competitive Gymnastics
Competitive gymnastics direct debit members are entitled to time freezes in minimum one (1) week blocks per occurrence and a maximum of four (4) weeks’ time freeze per calendar year. All time freezes must be applied for in writing to FDLC at least seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the time freeze period. Requests cannot be backdated. Standard direct debits will be suspended over the Christmas break for the period of 4-5 weeks in addition to the 4 weeks’ time freeze allocation. Christmas closure dates to be confirmed by Five Dock Leisure Centre staff at least 30 days prior. Holiday training times for the Christmas / New Year period will be advised by the FDLC coaching team and these will be charged separately from standard fees. There will be no account adjustments for classes missed other than for approved time freeze requests or for injury/illness as detailed below, or if classes are cancelled by FDLC.
Injury – Competitive Gymnastics
In the event of a minor injury where a gymnast does not attend class (or does not meet the one (1) week minimum requirement for a time freeze), they will not be eligible for a refund or credit of fees. In the event of a major injury sustained as a result of FDLC gymnastics participation that incapacitates the gymnast from attending their scheduled training hours, a temporary time pause will be placed on the account (this will not be taken from their annual 4 weeks of time freeze allowance). In the event of an injury that prevents the gymnast from attending over 50% of their weekly training hours or where the gymnast is completing an amended training schedule that is less than 50% of their regular training hours, an account adjustment will be applied. Requests can not be back dated.
Illness – Competitive Gymnastics
If your child becomes ill a one (1) week fee adjustment is available if supporting medical evidence is provided to FDLC prior to the commencement of the next scheduled class. This can be utilised only twice per calendar year. A maximum of 2-weeks fee adjustment in addition to the 4-week time freeze is available for illness. Minor illnesses are not considered eligible for fee adjustment. Requests cannot be backdated.
