Can I join a class in the middle of a session?
Yes! We offer open enrollment, so that you can join anytime and have your class fees prorated. This means that you pay only for the remaining class and not the full session fee.

What should my kids wear?
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and indoor soccer shoes (no cleats) or plain tennis shoes. Shinguards are needed for all our classes except the MDM. Uniforms are sometimes offered promotionally or are available for purchase. Outfitting your child in GCS Academy gear is a fun way to make your child feel part of a team.  Kids naturally appreciate looking like older uniformed kids and role models.  Plus a uniform gives kids a sense of belonging because they look like others on the team.

If I register my child for a session, are we “guaranteed” a spot in the next session?
No, all registrations are first come, first serve basis.

What kind of instructors do you have? Are they all licensed by some organization?
Our Coaches are carefully screened to ensure we provide quality, child-centered, high energy instruction. Each Coach goes through a background check and a rigorous training process, which includes child development training.

What if I can’t make it to one of my classes?
You are allowed to make up any missed classes within the session in which you are enrolled, subject to space availability. We typically offer many other class times, so usually this is not a problem; however we cannot guarantee that space will be available.  And note that you cannot carryover make-up classes into later sessions.

Can I drop my child off for class?
No, for the MDM program but we can make arrangement for the rest of the classes.

Can I register my child for just one class?
No, but we do offer one free trial class to new customers to see if their children enjoy the GCS Academy experience.

Do I have to pay for the free trial class if I sign up?
No, the free trial class is discounted from the class fee paid when you sign up.

What is your policy for allowing children with special needs into your program?
Children with special needs are welcomed in our program as long as we are equipped to assist them accordingly. Please contact your our office for more information.

Can we pay as we go during the session?
The entire session must be paid in full at the time of registration. However, since we offer open enrollment, we do prorate class fees.

How many free trials can a child take?
The free trial policy is usually limited to one free class per child. However, in special circumstances , we may offer an additional free class to a child, particularly if it’s been a long time since the last free trial class.

Can I get a  discount for both of my children?
Yes! We offer a sibling discount of $20.00 for each additional child registered.

Can we come on any day?
No, in order to maintain class ratios and consistency within the program, we schedule children for specific times and days. When registering, be sure to first determine which day best suits your schedule. Of course there may be an occasion when a make-up class is needed. In that situation, you can schedule a make-up class for any day in which class space is available. If your schedule changes during the session, and you need to switch days, we will try to accommodate your needs to the best of our ability. However, changes cannot be guaranteed and are based on space availability.
