Well where do I begin?! I´ll start by saying you better have VERY deep pockets if you want to have your child compete with American Kids?! We didn´t have any plans to have our son compete but when he started he progressed pretty quickly?! Of course, me being naive thought my son was excelling but we quickly realized it was a money pit! When we were asked the 1st time to move up to a team lvl “Rockets” we weren´t told about the Jump program at all?! I had to go and ask what the additional charges were about? I figured the monthly would go up (oh and boy did it $200+) but there´s also something called Jump that I was told was $10 a month and then I would have to fund raise to cover costs for competitions etc. (even though lvl 3 Rockets do not compete) I was told they start parents in Jump even though lvl 3 Rockets don´t compete to get parents used to Jump and fund raising?! So I bought the mandatory uniform and water bottle and we moved up. My son LOVED it and the coach Demetri is FANTASTIC…honestly, EVERYONE is nice… it´s not a bad place! I´m just frustrated with the lack of communication?! We are NOT a rich family and we have to plan our bills because we live paycheck to paycheck! So when we were asked if my son was ready to move up again I immediately went to the front desk and asked about the cost (twice)?! I was told it was going to be $395 a month and NO mention of an increase in Jump fees? I swallowed hard and went home to BEG my husband…he finally agreed and we went to 1 class before I got a credit card charge for an additional $175 for JUMP?! I was in shock? I again went straight to the front desk where I was directed to talk to Sheryl?! She said the same thing she said the 1st time I confronted her about Jump “nobody told you”? I explained I was NOT told that JUMP went from $10 a month to $175?! So that means to have my son in lvl 4 boys team it´s $570 a month plus???? I understand it costs money to have a child in gymnastics but it´s important to let the payee know what $$$$ they will be expected to pay monthly?! We are NOT a family that has bottomless pockets?! That´s why I specifically asked what the cost would be in advance?! I still don´t understand why it goes from $10 to $175 but I´ll never know because we had to walk away! My son cried the whole way home and then he cried himself to sleep?! I feel like a horrible mom but we just can´t afford it and if I knew the total in advance I would have NEVER moved forward?!
Again… coach Demetri is AMAZING…all the staff was wonderful! I hope that this review will help those that are unaware of how it works so you don´t find out the hard way like we did?! I wish someone would have explained it to me so I didn´t have to break my son´s heart?!
Good luck & God bless!!!!
