Eat/Sleep/Gym...Repeat
Proud Parent
It is very clear now that we need to pull our daughter out of her current (toxic) gym -- if you're interested in details, they're in my other posts (we are new to this community this past week as we have been seeking counsel, advice and support -- and you guys have been OUTSTANDING!! Thank you!!). We have been at this gym for 3 years prior. She was initially in Xcel, but was "invited" to transition to JO level 6 over the summer. We did not anticipate that things would downward spiral in the way they have in the last few months, culminating in the last week. This gym has a contract, which we have signed the last couple years (don't recall if it was this way when we first started) that says we are responsible for the whole "year" tuition if we leave for any non-medical reason. I'm asking here if anyone has had a similar contract that they have gotten out of, and what grounds were you successful?
This is the text of the contract pertaining to this subject: (bold and emphasis is theirs)
"I understand that my athlete occupies one of the limited spots on team and therefore must remain a paid team member for twelve month season which begins June 1, 2019. I agree that my athlete must also register for all competitions, buy and maintain all of the proper team uniforms, pay coaches fees, registration fees and routine fees and not withdraw from the program for the entire season.
I am financially responsible to pay the Total Seasons's Tuition. I may pay the entire amount in one lump sum or in ten or thirteen installments. I also agree that I must give more than 45 days written notice and receive gym acceptance prior to withdrawing my athlete from ACTIVE team status although I will still be financially responsible for the remaining tuition balance of the season."
So if anyone has actual similar experience it would be greatly appreciated to hear how you got through this.
Or, hey, "Is there a lawyer in the house?"
Thank you all for the opportunity to participate in this community. I have enjoyed also browsing some of the other more positive topics here and having some of my current anxiety and sadness regarding these events alleviated.
