Important Dates
Our Parkour Academy classes (excluding mini movers) run year-round. During school term dates, students will attend their regular day and time each week. In the weeks that fall during school holidays, we operate a flexi schedule, allowing families to choose times and days to fit around other activities and family plans.
Classes do not run at the usual times during school holidays. You can choose from a variety of workshops that run at 2.30pm and 3.30pm, Mon to Fri. These sessions can be scheduled via your parent portal. For families that are not able to attend these session times, you can simply pause your membership during school holidays and resume your regular class times once the school term begins. This can also be done via your portal.

Membership / Package Info
Overview
Our academy classes run year-round, including throughout the school holidays. We do not operate in ‘terms’ like many other youth sporting programs. This means that our students have access to classes all year round. As we do not operate a term by term structure, students are free to join, or leave our academy at any time.
Classes continue to run during the holidays, however we operate a flexi schedule, so you’ll have the flexibility to attend different session times or days, instead of sticking to your usual time slot.
Memberships are billed 4 weekly, with the flexibility to cancel from the end of your current billing period at any time. We just need 7 days notice prior to your next 4 week block. If there is less than 7 days notice, your membership will automatically be renewed for an additional 4 weeks and your cancellation date will be set at the end of the following block.
We offer three different membership package options so you can choose the one that best fits your family’s needs:
View membership options HERE
How does my membership work?
You only need to make a new enrolment once. Once you’re all set up, you can say goodbye to the hassle of re-enrolling each term, or the worry of your child missing out on their preferred session time. Your child will keep their regular spot until you request to change their class schedule or decide to cancel your package.
Need to change the day / time that your child attends their weekly class? No worries, you’ll have the flexibility to change class days or times when schedule conflicts arise, or if your child passes a new grade and becomes eligible for a new class category. We’ll even send you an email to let you know when this happens. To request a change, simply complete the schedule change request in your membership portal.
For those of you opting for the Flexi package or All Access package, you will have access to make-up sessions if your child is unable to attend their regular session. We’ll just need at least 1 hour’s notice if they cannot attend their regular scheduled session time.
Memberships are completely self managed from your Membership Portal Here, you’ll be able to organise membership pauses, make ups sessions, schedule changes and cancellations. It’s also where you’ll go to schedule in you school holiday flexi sessions.
As with most subscription or membership-based services, fees are charged based on the services made available to the customer, not on individual usage. The company does not monitor individual usage or attendance. Our staffing and class capacities are determined by the number of active memberships at any given time.
If the customer holds an active membership, or multiple memberships the company will ensure that services are made available. It is the customer’s responsibility to utilise the available services or to pause or cancel their membership if they are unable to attend. The company is unable to provide refunds or credits for services that were available but not used.
If you’d like a refresher on your membership terms and conditions, you can review the booking and payment terms Booking and Payment Terms. These are the T&Cs that were acknowledged and electronically signed during the enrollment process.
How do I change my class day / time?
Switching your regular class day or time is simple! There’s no need to re-enroll or create a new membership. Just fill out the schedule change request form in your membership portal, and our team will take care of the rest. If your preferred class is full, we’ll add you to the waitlist and notify you as soon as a spot opens up.
Important – If you only wish to change your child’s class day / time / level etc, please do not complete a new enrollment. Doing so will not automatically cancel existing memberships or enrollments.
Only complete the enrollment process again if you intend to enroll in additional classes. Completing multiple enrollments will reserve multiple class spots for your child, preventing other students from enrolling. As such Refunds or credits cannot be issued in this situation.
What happens during school holidays?
Your payments will continue as normal over the holidays, as we offer weekly classes for students to attend all year round.
During weeks that align with WA school holidays, classes do not run at their usual times. Instead, our holiday flexi schedule is in place. Our holiday flexi schedule provides a fun and flexible arrangement for our students and their families.
Instead of running our regular class structure over the break, we wanted to give our students something to really get excited about. So, we’ve created a selection of different themed workshops for students to book in to. Now, the students get to take the reins and choose exactly what they get to focus on. You can book your workshops via you Membership Portal.
We understand that many families’ schedules change over the holidays, so to make these sessions as accessible as possible, our flexi schedule allows you to spread your sessions over the break however you choose. Sessions run at 2.30 and 3.30pm Mon – Fri during holiday weeks. Students can even attend back-to-back sessions on the same day if they wish.
We understand that these session times may not work for everyone, so, if you prefer, you have the option to pause your membership payments on weeks that fall during WA public school holidays, for a total of 12 weeks over a 12 month period. You can request a pause via your membership portal in your parent portal.
Please note that the holiday camp classes listed on our ‘School Holiday’ page are separate from the member holiday classes, which are exclusively for enrolled students. The holiday camp classes are open to the general public.
New students
All new students, will be required to enroll into our basics classes. This allows us to ensure each new student receives a safe introduction to our gym and program.
How do I cancel my membership?
All membership management (Cancellations, Pauses, upgrades / downgrades etc) can be organised via your membership portal. From there you will need to complete the ‘CANCEL MEMBERSHIP’ form. You’ll need to submit this at least 7 days notice prior to your next payment date, so that we can make the necessary changes before your account is debited. Your membership will then be cancelled from the end of your current 4 week block. For cancellation requests made less that 7 days prior to your next payment, your enrollment will renew for the next 4 weeks and the cancellation will take place from the end of the following 4 week block.
Pausing your membership
All membership packages include the option to be paused during school holidays. Holiday dates are determined by WA Department of Education term dates, found HERE. You have the flexibility to pause for part or all of the break, whichever suits you best! Your child’s spot in their regular class will be held, and they’ll resume their regular schedule once the holidays end.
The minimum pause period is 1 week (7 days), and pauses must be taken in full-week blocks—1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and so on. When a pause is applied to your membership, it will take effect the week following your child’s last class. If this coincides with your scheduled billing week, the membership payment will be processed before the pause takes effect. Once the pause ends, your billing cycle will resume from the point where it was frozen.
While your membership is paused, you won’t have access to membership benefits (such as discounts), and class sessions during the pause will be forfeited. For example, with a Basic package that includes 1 x 60-minute session per week, if the holidays are 2 weeks long, you’ll have 2 x 60-minute sessions to use. If you pause your membership for 1 of those weeks, you’ll only have 1 x 60-minute session left to use during the remaining week.
Membership pauses are limited to a total of 12 weeks within a 12-month period. Each package has different pause options…
Basic package = Pauses can only be used during WA public school holidays.
Flexi package = Up to 2 of the 12 weeks may be used outside of school holidays.
All Access = Use the full 12 weeks at any time.
To pause your membership, simply fill out the pause request form located under the ‘Membership Portal’ section in your parent portal. Our team will handle the rest. Please provide 7 days’ notice before your desired pause start week.
Am I locked into a membership contract?
Not at all! Our payment cycles operate in 4-week blocks. You can cancel your membership at the end of your current block by giving 7 days’ notice before your next scheduled payment date. You will continue to receive your membership benefits until the end of the current 4-week block. After that, your enrolment will be cancelled, and no further charges will be applied to your account. If you wish to rejoin later, simply enrol again through our website.
How do we book in our school holiday sessions?
You can access the member holiday booking page via the Membership Portal. Just look for the button that says ‘Membership Portal’.
When will my child start their classes
This will depend on your subscription start date, which you can find under the Subscriptions tab in your parent portal. If your subscription start date falls during the school holidays, you will need to schedule your weekly classes via the membership portal, as classes do not run at their usual times during the holidays.
If your subscription start date falls during term time, simply attend the next available class at your chosen day and time after your subscription start date.
Can I choose a different start date?
We are unable to offer future-dated enrollments beyond the next available start dates displayed during the enrollment process.
If you prefer to begin your membership at a later date, please wait until you’re ready, then visit our website to check availability and enroll. If no spots are available at that time, you can register for the waitlist for your preferred class, and we will notify you when a spot opens up.
FAQ
Q: What if we need to take a term off due to other commitments?
A: You can simply cancel your package and sign up again when you’re ready to return. Please note that by cancelling, you will give up your secured spot, allowing another student to take it. You may need to join a waitlist when you wish to rejoin.
Q: How do the discounts on apparel and holiday camps work with the different packages?
A: If you are signed into your account, you should find that any discounts are automatically applied to eligible products and services. If the price shown is not at the discounted rate, please send us an email prior to making payment. We are not able to apply discounts, credits or refunds once the transaction has been processed.
Q: What if my child wants to attend more than one class per week?
A: If your child wants to attend more than one class each week, we recommend making your first enrolment using either the Flexi or the All Access package, as these packages offer discounts for additional classes. Once you have enrolled for your first class, please send us an email, and we will provide you with a custom discount code for additional enrolments. Please note that you can enrol in additional classes using the Basic package, as you will already be receiving the benefits from your first enrolment package. Package benefits cannot be shared between multiple children.
Here is a guide to how multiple package combos will work:
Basic + Basic: Cost: $22 + $22 = $44 per week.
Includes 2 x Basic package benefits:
- 2 x weekly class
- 2 x member sessions per week of school holidays
- 2 x schedule change per term
Flexi + Basic: Basic Package with 10% discount: $22 – $2.20 = $19.80 Cost: $25 + $19.80 = $44.80 per week
Includes Flexi package benefits + Basic package benefits:
- 2 x weekly class
- 2 x member sessions per week of school holidays
- 2 x make-up sessions per term
- 3 x schedule changes per term
- 10% discount on apparel
- 10% discount school holiday camps
- 10% discount on additional term time classes
All Access + Basic: Basic Package with 25% discount: $22 – $5.50 = $16.50 Cost: $29 + $16.50 = $45.50 per week
Includes All Access package benefits + Basic package benefits:
- 2 x weekly class
- Waitlist priority on full classes (jump to the top of the list)
- Unlimited member sessions during school holidays
- Unlimited make-up sessions
- Unlimited schedule changes
- 20% discount on apparel
- 20% discount school holiday camps
- 25% discount on additional term time classes
Q: Can we pay term by term?
A: Unfortunately not. It would not be manageable for our enrolment/scheduling system to offer the two different styles of enrolment.
Q: When will my payments start?
A: To secure your place in our academy, your first payment will be debited at the time of enrolment and checkout. This payment serves as a deposit and will offset your first recurring payment, meaning your next payment won’t be debited until 4 weeks after the commencement date.
Q: Can I change my package choice after subscribing?
Absolutely. We understand that circumstances change, so you’re free to upgrade your package at any time. If you’ve used membership perks or benefits specific to a package level, there’s a required minimum of three active months (three payments) at that level. If you wish to downgrade within three months and have used additional benefits, the balance difference between the packages will be due and debited with your next payment.
For example, if you choose the all-access package and use the pause benefit to pause for six-weeks during term time, you’ll need to remain on that package for three active months before downgrading. However, if you only use two weeks of pause, you’re eligible to downgrade to the flexi package anytime, as those benefits align with the flexi package allowances.
However, downgrading to the basic package would still require three active months.
Q: Is there a family discount for multiple children?
A: Yes. We now offer a 10% discount for families that are enrolling three or more children. If you are enrolling three or more children from the same family, please send us an email before making your enrolments. We will send you a code to enter at checkout.
Q: Does the membership system apply to all classes?
A: This structure is used for all classes, except for our Mini Movers program. Mini Movers enrolments operate on a term-by-term basis.
Q: Can I choose a different billing cycle?
A: At present, we only have the option to offer a 4 weekly billing cycle. This will be determined by your package start date. Once you have enrolled, you will be able to view your payment schedule in the subscriptions tab of the parent portal.
Grading
What's it all about?
Our grading system is designed to allow students to safely progress to more advanced movements. All Parkour Academy students (not mini movers) have the option to take part in our grading system. Students that do not wish to take part in gradings will still get to have lots of fun and learn all of our basic movements, but may not be able to progress onto the more advanced movements or enrol into our advanced classes.
How does it work?
Our grading system consists of seven levels (L0 to L6). All students start at L0 and progress through the levels. Each time a student passes a new level, they will be awarded a certificate and a coloured wrist band that corresponds to that level. The wrist bands allow our coaches to quickly identify which students in each group are working at which level. This allows our coaches to ensure each student is working on the appropriate movements for their skill level. We may also determine which group to put a student in based on their wrist band.
How do students move up levels?
We have found that many children become anxious and do not perform well in official grading sessions, so all of our assessing takes place during their regular classes. At the end of each station rotation the coach will note what level of movement each enrolled student managed to achieve during their practice. This will then be recorded directly into their digital grading record.
Students need to attain 16 marks at a level to pass that level. Marks attained for a different level do not count towards the total. Once a student passes a level, they will be awarded their certificate and wrist band for that level. We’ll also send you an email to update you on their progress.
How long does it take to pass each level?
This varies depending on a variety of factors (age, previous sporting experience, focus in class, etc) but here is a rough guideline of how long it takes for a beginner to reach each level …
Level 1 ORANGE BAND 1-2 terms
Level 2 GREEN BAND 6 to 9 months
Level 3 BLUE BAND 1 to 1.5 years
Level 4 PURPLE BAND 1.5 to 2.5 years
Level 5 RED BAND 3+ years
Level 6 BLACK BAND 4+ years
Cost
There is a one off registration cost of $29. This covers the cost of registration and the associated wrist bands and certificates for each grade. This is not a per term cost.
Advanced classes
You may have noticed that we have several different level classes on our schedule. These advanced classes can only be accessed by students that have passed the relevant grade for that class. For example, our intermediate classes are only available to students that have achieved a minimum of their L1 certificate / Orange band. Our advanced classes are able to be more tailored to the students by grouping together students of the same age and grades. Students that have passed grades are always welcome to stay in the lower level classes if they prefer.
