Please give us a call (94824341) or send us an email so we can tell you how much the fees are for the class you are interested in.

What does my child need to wear to their lesson?

For recreational classes there is no set uniform, children are asked to wear firm fitting comfortable clothes that they can move about in and go upside down in. No belts or buckles. Shoes and socks are taken off at the beginning of class.

What does my child need to bring to their lesson?

A water bottle! That’s it.

Do I need to stay and watch their lesson?

Only if your child is doing a Kinder Gym class. We do not have parent participation in our Kinder Gym classes, however we do require you to remain present. For everything else you are not required to stay in the Gym, however you are welcome to if you would like (we have a sitting area from which the Gym and classes can be seen).

Do I need to stay and watch their lesson?

Our club address is 19-21 Leighton Place Hornsby. We are the big navy building! This is in the industrial area at the back of Hornsby, in the vicinity of Asquith Girls High School and Hornsby Hospital.

Do I need to stay and watch their lesson?

If travelling by car, there is a carpark if you drive up the ramp as well as untimed on street parking nearby.

If travelling by public transport, we are a 15 minute walk from Asquith Train Station. The 598 Hornsby to Asquith bus service makes stops on Leighton Place (Icon Gymsports is located at 19-21 Leighton Place Hornsby) and loops to Hornsby Station.

What should I do if myself or my child is going to miss a lesson?

Recreational students are not required to notify us of absence (although we, of course, appreciate it when we are notified, especially when it will be for more than one lesson). We have a flexible makeup policy and makeup lessons are offered where available. These can be booked at any point over the calendar year (either via the Parent Portal or directly through the office).

There are specific guidelines for athletes who will miss a competitive gymnastics or cheerleading training session. Please refer to your Information Booklets provided at the beginning of the year.

Do you offer casual classes?

No unfortunately, we do not offer casual classes or partial enrolments. Athletes must sign up for the reminder of the term on enrolment. The only exception is Open Gym and Open Kinder Gym.

What happens if I go away on holidays or change my mind? Can I get a refund of my term fees?

Refunds are not given under any circumstances. Credit notes may be considered at the manager’s discretion for serious medical reasons only and accompanied by a medical certificate. Please see our makeup policy for alternative options.

What is the make-up policy at Icon Gymsports?

Recreational Athletes: If you miss a lesson you are more than welcome to do a makeup class providing there are places available. These must be used within the calendar year and can be booked via the Parent Portal or directly through the Icon office.

Competitive Gymnasts: The same policy as above applies, however, there is a limit to 2 makeups being accumulated at one time. You must use at least one of your makeups before additional makeup tokens will be issued.

Does my enrolment carry across the year?

Yes, enrolments are annual and payment is made via monthly direct debit. You can cancel your enrollment at any time with a month’s notice provided in writing.

Do classes run on public holidays?

No, we do not run classes on public holidays and these missed lessons are accounted for in student fees where applicable.

Do classes run during school holidays?

Yes! All classes run throughout school holidays, except for the January break period. Recreational classes are on at their usual times. If you are going away you are welcome to enrol in makeup classes.

Competitive Gymnasts may have alternative training times during school holiday periods – please refer to your Squad Information Handbook.

We also have our Holiday Programs running each break if you are looking for something fun for the holidays!

Am I able to change to my child’s class or time?

Of course, if there is availability. Please give us a call on 9482 4341 or send an email to info@icongymsports.com to enquire about changing a class.

How does my child move up a level?

We are always keen to support our athletes in feeling encouraged and challenged in their classes.

For our recreational gymnastics students, the most direct and comprehensive opportunity for assessment is at the Skills Challenge/Recreational Competition day, one of which will be run towards the end of each term. This is a fun and encouraging opportunity for athletes to perform their gymnastics for their families and for parents to receive a formal assessment of their child’s skills and progress, along with indication of appropriate class for the following term. You will be notified of the Skills Challenge when bookings open each term. If a coach notices your child needs to be moved up outside of the Skills Challenge events they will speak with you directly, and you are also always welcome to ask your child’s coach for this feedback directly as well.

Tumbling students are assessed within their classes towards the end of each term and for all other recreational classes, your coach will speak directly with the athlete and parent when a different class may be more suitable.

Please do not hesitate to speak to us as soon as possible if you have any concerns about your child’s class suitability and progression, as this matter is very important to us.

Will my child be covered by insurance?

Absolutely, all athletes at Icon Gymsports are registered as members of Gymnastics Australia and covered insurance as part of their membership. Please note that Icon covers this cost – we do not charge members a fee for insurance.
