Parents Hours/tuition/assessment fees/leotard

[gymnastca25]

What level is your dd, how many hours do they go a week and what are the fees? Also, how much is the competitive leo (not including warm-up)?

My 8 year old is working on level 5 skills (competed level 4 last year). We don't know what level they will compete next season until September. She goes 16 hours a week plus 4 hours of tops training. The cost is $325/month plus we pay a total of $900 in assessment fees. We pay those over a 9 month period. The leo is about $200.
Just curious how this compares to others.

 

[SurpriseGymMom]

Sounds reasonable and pretty average. Meet fees are on top of that, I assume?

 

[Pea'sMom]

Ditto, about what we pay and hours. Our meet fee's are in addition to monthly fee, gym fee, leo's etc.

My DD9 is training L4 and TOPs and practicing 18 hours during the summer and will likely train 15 during the school year. We pay $335/18 hours, approx $250 for leo & warmup (every 2 years) and approx $900 for assessments before fundraising. I paid $650 in assessments with very little fundraising last season. I'm hoping to do much more fundraising this year to get most meet fees covered.

What are "assessments?"

"assessments" are another word for all the meet fees/coach costs/etc. for the competitive season.

DD is L4 20 hours in summer at $432, 16 hours during school at $406 ( these include 1 hour ballet), approx $250/$300 for leo and warm up ( no warm up last year, but 3 different comp leos for only 8 meets!!), approx $1200 meet fees, $100 equipment fee, and the norm here is to do weekly privates at $70 an hour. We have a couple of meets we have to stay overnight also. I've checked and these prices seem fairly normal for our area. I'm getting a job to pay for gym.

 

[gymnastca25]

Yes the assessment fees are the meet fees! So, everyone seems about pretty equal!

We are at a new gym. We pay $395 for 20+ hours a week. I heard coaches and meet fees for last season for optionals were $1500. I am not sure what warm up and leo costs but last year at our old gym we paid $400 for leo, warm ups and bag.

 

[gymnastca25]

Beachgirl - that is crazy you have to do $70 weekly privates! ouch! I may need to get a job to pay for gym too!

L6-7 train 16 hours and pay $210. Our leo is $220 plus warm ups are another $180. We get those every two years. Coach's fees are $500, meet fees are around $100 a meet for 8-10 meets so 800-1000 plus travel for every single meet.
