Tumbling Payment Change
 
The Fairview Parks & Recreation Authority (FPRA) has chosen to modify the way payments are taken for all tumbling classes. Kids Fun Night Out is not included in this modification and will be run the same as before. This modification will result in you registering with and making payment to the Fairview Parks & Recreation Authority for all tumbling classes. You can choose to sign up and pay for one or multiple sessions within a seasonal program. Each class in any session is still only $5.00. As with all of our programs, there will be no refunds for missed classes unless there is a doctors excuse. Walk-in sign-ups and payment to Coach Carl is discouraged.
In this way, the FPRA will be able to properly assist the tumbling coaches by eliminating excess time spent managing registration/waiver forms and money. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the FPRA office at 474-5077 or email parks-rec@fairviewtownship.com.
