information

All bookings are now managed through our ClassforKids portal here.

You can enrol for a term using the ClassforKids app.

*IMPORTANT - please ensure when you are making a booking that you click on 'complete order' and that you receive a confirmation email for your booking. If you do not complete the checkout process fully and receive a confirmation - your booking has not gone through.*

Once you have signed up for a subscription, your monthly payment will be taken using the card details that you provided on the 1st of each month from August 2024 - June 2025.

Please note that term fees are calculated pro-rata. Your weekly fees are multiplied by 37 weeks and then divided by 11 months. Therefore, your payments will remain the same, even when there are school holidays within a month. You may also be charged a covering payment if you start classes after the start date in August. This covering payment is to cover any classes that have not already been included in your next monthly payment. 

To cancel any classes, 14-days notice must be given (via email) or you will still be charged the next monthly payment. Even if cancelled within the 14-day period, there may be a small balance due, depending on when the last class was attended. Please note that payments will not be automatically cancelled due to lack of attendance. Your athlete's space will be kept and payments will continue unless you email to cancel in accordance with the cancellation policy above. Refunds will not be given due to non attendance. 

Persistent late payment without communication will result in athletes losing their spot on the team. If you are in genuine financial hardship, please contact to discuss.

What to wear & what to bring - kids coming along for their first class can wear any comfortable sports wear (shorts, joggers, leggings, t-shirt etc.). If they have a pair of indoor only trainers, these would be perfect to bring along. However, if they don't have any that's no problem - they can just do the class in their socks. I would suggest they bring a bottle of water along. 

Jewellery should be removed and long hair should be tied up. Kids are not allowed sweets, snacks or chewing gum at class. Those who are staying for more than 1 class are permitted to have a snack with them for the break. However, please ensure that snacks do not contain any nuts or nut containing ingredients - we have athletes with severe allergies. Please ensure that athletes use the toilet before coming to class. This will help to prevent any disruption - thank-you! 

Entrance to the building - Arriving for the first class, you should use entrance J at the Stirling Enterprise Park (around the back). A coach will meet everyone at door J 5 minutes before class starts. The coach will then escort the class down the corridor to the studio. In the evening, the main doors are locked for security reasons. Please note that parents are not permitted to stay and watch classes and there is no waiting area available. However, there is a Costa Coffee a 5 minute walk away as well as several shops. 

If you are running late and cannot gain access, please send us a message through the Planet Cheer Facebook page. This will give us an instant notification on our watch and we can arrange for someone to come and let you in. Please do not email as we will not be checking these during class. Please note that if you are more than 10 minutes late for class, you will be unable to gain entry. 

Please do not allow athletes to enter the building unattended. If you are running late and the external doors are open, please escort them down to the studio instead of allowing them to enter on their own. If you are early for class, please do not leave any athletes at the door unattended. 

After class is finished, we will bring all participants back to door J to be picked up. All athletes in our Tiny, Mini & Youth classes must be picked up from the door. We will not allow young athletes to leave the building until there is an adult at the door to collect them. This is to ensure their safety. The car park can become busy with cars dropping off and picking up within the same time slot. 

If you are running late to pick up, we will take your athlete back to the studio with the next class. Please send us a message on your arrival and we can arrange for them to be brought to the door for you. 

Feeling anxious? - I know that starting a new club can be a very anxious experience for kids, especially when they don't know anyone else there. At DMC we pride ourselves on making everyone feel welcome and as comfortable as possible. If your athlete is feeling particularly anxious, please let me know in advance of their first class. I can arrange an earlier meeting time and a personal tour of the studio for the family. This will allow them to become familiar with their surroundings and their new coach before the rest of the kids arrive. We can also arrange a class buddy to help them settle in. 

Our class uniform consists of a team t-shirt & plain black shorts (cheer shorts, Nike Pros) and a cheerleading hair bow (any colour is fine - must be hair elastic kind and not a clip on one). Cheerleaders must have cheerleading trainers and dancers require tan split sole slip on jazz shoes. Please do not sign up for cheerleading or dance classes if you are unwilling to buy cheerleading trainers/dance shoes for your athlete - these are a requirement. Athletes will not be permitted to fly in stunts until they have appropriate footwear for safety reasons. 

T-shirts and shorts are available to buy in our online shop. There are also additional, optional items like hoodies and bags available. Cheerleading trainers can be expensive, but eBay, Vinted or Facebook Marketplace can be a good shout for second hand ones in great condition. Brands I would recommend looking out for include Nfinity, Zephz, Kaepa, Rebel and Varsity. 

I would recommend ordering new cheerleading trainers from the following suppliers:

Living Cheer

Power Nation

Amazon and Temu also offer some cheer trainers at great prices. However, please ensure that any shoes you order from these websites have a full sole. Trainers with a split soles are not suitable for cheerleading and will not be permitted to be worn in class for safety reasons. If you are unsure about what shoes to get, please contact me or speak to a coach for advice. 

Jazz shoes should be tan leather slip on split soles (preferably with a suede pad on the front). I would recommend these ones:

Starlite Fanatic at Amazon

New athletes are not expected to get their uniform items straight away. I understand that you will want to see if your kids are going to stay at the club long term before spending money on a uniform. However, it is expected that all athletes will have their full class uniform within 6 weeks of joining.  

Existing athletes are expected to wear their uniform to every class. Those who attend more than 1 class per week can wear a competition t-shirt to additional classes. Joggers, hoodies and leggings are allowed for warming up in only and are not permitted to be worn for training in. All jewellery must be removed or taped over (small stud earrings are allowed). Long hair should be securely tied back. If your athlete turns up for class with acrylic nails, false nails, long sharp nails - they may not be allowed to participate in stunts or tumbling for safety reasons.
