βThe best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today."
- H. Jackson Brown Jr.Please show up prepared with hair secured out of face, clothing suitable to flip in, and appropriate footwear. Arriving 5 minutes early to stretch in the designated stretching area is encouraged for private lessons. Your coach will do any other necessary stretches and flexibility work within the lesson. Classes will stretch together.
-
By enrolling in a class, you are committing to the ENTIRE duration of the course (Season classes typically September to March, Spring Intensives typically April & May, and Summer classes typically June & July). If you are not fully confident you will attend at least 80% of the class, please do not enroll in a class.
Athletes are responsible canceling a class they are registered for but need to cancel. Athletes can do this anytime up to 12 hours prior to the class time. The system will not allow you to cancel within 12-hours of the class start time. If it is within 12 hours of the class, the athletes must notify us they are unable to attend a scheduled class by sending an email to flip@theflipsidenwa.com. Letting us know this is very important as it allows the coach ample time to create lesson plans that are most beneficial of every athlete in the class.
No replacement class credits or refunds will be issued if a class is not cancelled at least 12 hours before the class start time, since that eliminates access for another athlete to fill that spot.
Classes are not scheduled on holidays, and thus there no make-up classes for holidays. You can learn more about these classes in the FAQs of our website.
-
Rescheduling and lesson cancellation can be done anytime prior to 12 hours in advance of scheduled appointment without penalty. If cancellation is needed within 12 hours of your lesson due to a sickness or unforeseen circumstance, you can receive only a 50% credit of the cancelled appointment for future use. This credit will be issued within 72 hours of cancellation.
-
By enrolling in a class, you are committing to the ENTIRE duration of the course (Program Group Classes typically September to March; fall and spring sessions of Skill Development Classes typically Sept to November and March to May, and Summer Skill Development Classed typically June to first week of August).
We understand athletes sometime must miss a scheduled class. There is no penalty for missed classes; however, missed classes cannot be exchanged, refunded, or credited for another lesson/class/event/service. If an athlete misses too many classes, they may be asked to leave the class in order to make room for another athlete that can attend consistently.
If an athlete needs to be removed from the entire class, you must reach out to us directly at flip@theflipsidenwa.com as soon as you are aware of the needed withdrawal. Only if the withdrawal is due to unforeseen circumstance, you can receive a 50% credit of the prorated pre-paid tuition. Once you have been removed from a class, you can not reenroll in that course; however, you can still schedule private lessons and enroll in future classes.

New Athletes

Our program is best suited for athletes who are at least 5 years old and are developmentally ready to participate in a structured, one-hour class. All skill levels are welcome at The Flip Side!
Tumbling early in life helps with motor skills, flexibility/balance, confidence, cognitive functions, & more! What athletes learn through tumbling teaches body-control and coordination that translates well into many other sport. It's never too late to learn new skills and see what our bodies can do.

We love getting to work with multiple athletes from the same family! While there is no direct discount for siblings, you can book a share private lesson for a lower per-athlete-cost.
That is, you can book a private lesson at full price and add a second athlete to that same appointment for half of the cost of an individual lesson.
Example: For a 30-minute private lesson, $40 for first sibling + $20 for second sibling to attend same private lesson = $60 total (or $30 per athlete).

Clothing that is easy to move in. Such as t-shirts, tank tops, sports bras, shorts, leggings, etc. Please make sure clothing is tight enough that when going upside down it doesn't cover your eyes.
NO FUZZY socks or clothing. These leave tiny balls of fuzz all over the tumbling floor and is hard to remove.
Please have hair tied back before arriving to the studio.
Wear appropriate footwear based on sport/activity.
-
Parents can drop off their athlete or stay in lobby area. To keep lessons and classes focused on coaching, parents are not allowed in the training areas (spring floor, dead mats, dance floor, trampoline, etc.).
Parking and seating is limited, so please be courteous of sharing the space with others. There are a few parking spaces directly in front of the space that are for drop-off and pick up. There is additional parking spaces at the south end of our building. Please do not use or block parking spaces for the other suites.

The best ways to spot last-minute openings is to regularly check the calendar on the scheduling links AND to watch The Flip Side Instagram stories! Occasionally there will be a calendar adjustment that will not appear on the scheduling links (like added makeup days for snowed out lessons). If there is an unfilled gap on those days, it will be posted it on the Instagram story.
To be fair to every athlete, no direct messages will be sent to any individual regarding these open spots.

We do not offer a standing private lesson spots. Private lessons are scheduled by athletes on a first-come-first-serve basis. However, if the same day/time is open over consecutive weeks, athletes are welcome to book multiple of those dates.
There are too many athletes currently enrolled at The Flip Side to offer standing lessons to athletes. Classes are recommended for anyone seeking consistent, reoccurring lessons.
-
Only one of the attending parties needs to book the appointment. Schedule a private lesson for one of the athletes and then use the add-on feature to add a second athlete to that appointment for the additional fee. The person booking will pay for the full cost of the shared lesson. This appointment will only be displayed on the booking parties account.
Example: For a 1-hour private lesson, $80 base price for first athlete + $40 for second athlete to attend the private lesson = $120 total (or $60 per athlete).
It is left to the attending parties to determine how to share the cost of the lesson outside of the scheduling platform. For athletes consistently doing 2-person private lessons, we recommend alternating who pays for each lesson or each month.
-
Yes, you can retroactively add another athlete to an already scheduled private lesson. The additional athlete MUST ALREADY BE AN EXISTING ATHLETE at The Flip Side. (Not open to new athletes). This must be completed at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment to give your coach ample time to prepare for the lesson change.
The fee to add an additional athlete to a private lesson is $20 for a 30-minute lesson.
