Your guide to using Class Credits
be logged into your account when you book. if not, it may not appear on your account and we will have to assign those to you. type the same name every time (no nickname like Ash for Ashley) because it was create another account in the system and my no show in you account
book in athletes name!!
If you go back when scheduling dates it will start back over.
you must now go in an cancel your class to receive your credit back
tip automatically set to 18%, it will still calculation tip even after it zeros out the charge, so be sure to set that to zero
If you would like to do a "test run" of what it will be like to register for classes, we have created this test class and test code for you to experiment with. Practice picking the exact dates you need, see the caution message if you book too many, what it looks like if you use only a portion of the credits and how you know how many are left. practice canceling an confirming your credit was returned to you. We're hoping provide some confidence in the process and reduce some of the uncertainty and confusion on the registration date. There are some how to video below that may be useful.

"Check Code Balance" at end of the class registration page. you can use your code or you can type your email and it will send you all codes tied to that email and the credit left for each code
remember everyone are using thes test codes so checking the balance will change whenever anyone using the test account. we just want you to have an opportunity to do a few test runs before registration opens.
you have to complete the checkout process even thought eh balance is zero. You will receive an appointment confirmation email after each successful booking.
What’s changing from last season classes?
No “Program” classes. This year no classes will be organized based on outside competitive/school programs. This does not stop athletes from attending classes with other athletes of their same program. It simply means a class can be made up of athletes from any program.
No weekly class spot. We are switching from weekly class spots to a “class credits” system to increase flexibility in everyone’s the schedules. This will allow athletes to pick which class dates/times to attend when it fits their busy, ever-changing schedules. Athletes will have a chance to purchase credits in advance to use over the duration of that class. It also means athletes don’t have to worry about missing a class, because they can cancel that class on their own and get their credit back to use another day. (Credits explained further down.)
Coaching hour to prioritize classes. In the previous season, the total coaching hours each week were a 50/50 split between classes and private lessons. With so many athletes wanting to get in, we are prioritizing classes more this season to allow more athletes studio time. Next season coaching hours will be an 80/20 split of classes to private lessons.
Classes or Private Lessons, not both. For existing private lesson athletes, we will continue the approach from this summer where athletes can either choose to do classes or private lessons, but not both at same time. As stated above, there will be fewer private lessons each week from last year, so private lessons will be maxed at 2 a month per athlete. These private lesson athletes do not need to purchase credits.
Coaching days. The last 2 seasons, classes and private lessons were held Monday - Thursday and Saturday. This season classes and private lessons will all be held Tuesday - Saturday.
Spring sessions. Spring sessions will not be available for enrollment until mid-February. Spring sessions will be 8 weeks long in April & May. These Spring sessions are designed to work technique through targeted drills and build confidence through strong reps. Think of these classes more like “spring intensives”.
Tumbling class name changes. Going forward, there will be a slight change to how tumbling classes are named in order to give classes a clear level of progression as athletes learn higher skills.
→ Beginner Tumbling will be called “Tumbling 1” (typically ages 5-8)
→ Intermediate Tumbling will be called “Tumbling 2” (typically ages 8-12)
→ Advanced Tumbling will be called “Tumbling 3” (typically ages 12+)
What is the 2026/2027 class schedule?
Schedule Notes:
→ All Season Classes will run from September to March except Level 3 classes; which run as follows:
Acro 3 will be held 11 weeks in September to November.
Tumbling 3 will be held 10 weeks in December to February.
→ We will offer two classes of Acro 2, Junior High Acro, High School Acro, Tumbling 2, and High School Tumbling.
→ Junior High is considered 7th, 8th, & 9th Graders in the current school year, and High School is considered 10th, 11th, 12th. An athlete does not have to be on a school cheer or dance team to attend a Junior High or High School class.
→ While all Junior High and High School classes will run September to March, beginning in January these classes will become tryout-prep focused. Athletes in a Junior High or High School class can not register for Tryout Prep Clinics in March; which are intended to help additional athletes prepare for tryouts.
→ Acro 1 and Tumbling 1 will be offered in April & May, along with our 8-week Spring sessions. Tiny Tumble and Tiny Acro (~ages 5 & under) will not be offered this upcoming season.
→ You can find descriptions of each class here: Class Descriptions
→ Based on the classes we are offering this season, if you are unsure which class your athlete should be in, the vast majority of athletes will continue with the same class level they have been working.
How will the “Class Credits” system work?
Purchase Class Credits for a season class. At the end of July, athletes will have an opportunity to purchase Class Credits to attend a season class. Athletes can buy Class Credits for only ONE class level (either Acro 2, Acro 3, Jr High Acro, HS Tumbling, etc….). Class Credits are used to secure the class day/time an athletes can attend. If a class is offered twice a week, athletes can use their Class Credits to attend either day/time their class level is offered. We will refund any Class Credits that remain unused at the end of the class duration.
This system also allows much more flexibility when athletes have last minute schedule changes. If you book a class and later realize you can no longer make it, you simply cancel that class, and you will automatically get that credit back to use for a different class day. Our goal with the Class Credits system is to provide athletes an easier way to work around any outside commitments.
Cost of Class Credits. The cost of each credit will be the same 1-hour class rate as previous seasons, at $40 per class. The only difference is this season all classes will be a one-time upfront purchase.
Number of Class Credits. There is a maximum number of Class Credits that will be sold for each class level. That number is determined by the number of total class spots for each class level. We will not sell more Class Credits than class spots available. We will offer credits for purchase until they are sold out.
The number of credits an athlete can purchase is based on their active enrollment in classes in the past 2 years. An athlete had to be enrolled in a class for at least 90% of the class’s duration to be considered active.
If an athlete was enrolled in a class at The Flip Side in the 2024-2025 season or 2025 summer, they are considered to be active in classes in Year 1. If an athlete was enrolled in a 2025-2026 season class (28-week, 12-week or 8-week class) or 2026 summer, they are considered to be active in classes in Year 2.
Athletes can pick either:
** September to March Classes: Athletes active in BOTH years can purchase 18 Class Credits to use over the duration of the season. Athletes active in only one of those years can purchase 10 Class Credits.
** Level 3 Classes: Athletes active in BOTH years can purchase 8 Class Credits to use over the duration of the season. Athletes active in only one of those years can purchase 4 Class Credits.
What is the process for registering for a season class?
Purchasing Class Credits. We will stagger the access to purchasing credits based on an athlete’s active enrollment in the past 2 years. (See “Number of Class Credits” above to determine active years status). We will email links to purchase credits on the following days:
→ July 27th @ noon for athletes that have been active for BOTH years.
→ July 29th @ noon for athletes that have been active for only one of the last 2 years.
Use that link to find your athlete’s class level and complete the purchase of Class Credits. You will get an automated purchase confirmation email.
For parents with two or more athletes, you will need to make two separate purchases. Before checkout, you will be asked to indicate which athlete the Class Credits are for. If your athletes have not been active the same number of years, please only purchase the appropriate package for each athlete.
When we receive the order, we will confirm the athlete is eligible for purchasing those Class Credits and confirm the class level purchased is the right fit for the athlete. If there is an issue with anything, we will reach out to you directly to fix the issue.
Once we confirm everything, we will send you a direct email with that athlete’s registration date and their unique code to use when registering for classes. This code will be assigned the exact number of Class Credits purchased and can only be used for your class level. It is our goal to send this email with your code within 48 hours of purchasing the credits.
Before Registration Opens. There will be about 1.5 weeks to 2 weeks between purchasing your Class Credits and your class registration date. During this time, we recommend athletes determine which class dates they prefer to attend. Consider outside practice schedules, school sporting events, competition dates, or any other event that may impact the best dates for you to attend. We also recommend you reference our 2026/2027 Important Dates Calendar at the end of the post which shows the dates the studio will be closed next season.
Class Registration Opens. Registration dates will also be staggered based on an athlete’s active enrollment in the past 2 years. On your designated registration date, you will receive an email at noon with the link for your class level to begin booking classes.
The class dates will be available to book two months in advance. Meaning, when you first get access to register, only classes in September and October will be available. The next month of classes will open on the next 1st day of the month at noon. EX) November class dates will open September 1st at noon.
→ You will need your unique code to complete the booking process.
→ Booking classes will not be available through the app.
→ If you have multiple athletes, you will need to complete separate bookings.
→ It is preferred athletes attend no more than 1 class per week. If there are not enough class dates remaining or dates that work in your schedule, athletes can book an additional class that week.
→ If your athlete does not plan on trying out for a school cheer/dance team in the Spring of 2027, we encourage you to use your Class Credits more in the months of September to December. If your athlete wants to focus more on prepping for tryouts, you may consider using more of your credits in the months of January to March.
Can I join a list for athletes that are willing to fill in if there is an unfilled spot in class?
Class fill-ins. On the occasion when we have an unfilled spot or a last-minute cancellation, we invite athletes not in classes to fill in for that class day. We call these athletes “Class Alternates”. We will create an Alternates List for each class level. If a class level is offered twice a week, Alternates will be invited to both class days/times.
Become an Alternate. Anyone that has not purchased Class Credits can be an Alternate (including existing private lesson athletes). From August 19th to 23rd, we will open an Alternate Interest Form for athletes interested in becoming an Alternate. The link to the form will be emailed on August 19th at noon. Please confirm you can make the class time(s) for the class level you want to be an Alternate for. Once the submission period closes, we will finalize the Alternates Lists. While the order we receive submissions may be considered, we will give initial priority to existing athletes, then athletes that have attended a Flip in Friday or clinic previously, and then new athletes. We will take 15 athletes for each class level. You will receive an email letting you know you are on the Alternate List for your class level.
How being an Alternate works. We will give registered class athletes access to fill all open spots until the day of the class. If there is an open spot on the day of the class, that morning we will send an email to the Alternate List for that class level; along with a link to register for that spot. It will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. For filling in a last-minute spot, Alternates will get 25% off the normal $40 class price. Once you complete payment, your spot to fill in that day is secured. Once an athlete has filled in 5 class spots, they will be removed from the list to give the other Alternates a chance to attend a few classes.
What all can I register for?
For athletes in a class. If the duration of your class is still running, you are only eligible for that class. You can not book private lessons, be an Alternate, or register for Flip in Fridays. Once your class ends (and before it starts if you’re in Tumbling 3), you can book private lessons if you are an existing private lesson athlete, otherwise you can then sign up for at most 1 Flip in Friday per month. Athletes in a Junior High or High School class can not register for Tryout Prep Clinics in March.
For private lesson athletes not in a class. If you are an existing private lesson athlete, you can book up to 2 private lessons a month. You can sign up to be an Alternate for one class level, and you can register for Tryout Prep Clinics in March. You can not register for Flip in Fridays.
For all other athletes. You can sign up to be an Alternate for one class level. You can register for 1 Flip in Friday per month, and for Tryout Prep Clinics in March.
