Sports & Fitness Policies

General Policies

All who enter the Family Life Center (members & guests) are expected to act, speak and behave in a Christ-like manner. Please follow the dress code at all times.

Member Check-in

Everyone is required to check in at the front desk upon entering the facility. Simply present your FLC membership card to the Welcome Desk staff person on duty. Staff members are required to check all cards and ID's.

Children in the 6th grade and up will receive their own membership cards. They will be responsible for having their card each time they check into the FLC.

Children in the 5th grade and lower may not enter the FLC without a parent. These children must have adult supervision while at the FLC. When children in the 5th grade or lower are in the FLC as a special group or for a special program, the group sponsor is responsible for the proper number of adult supervisors. (See Group Reservations)

Guests & Visitors

A guest is anyone who is not a member of Champion Forest Baptist Church. The staff of the FLC encourages members to bring guests. A member may bring a maximum of three guests unless the Director of the FLC has given prior approval. Guests coming into the facility must:

FLC guests may leave before their host member leaves, but guests may not stay after their host member leaves. There is a $5 guest fee ($3 for guests age 55+.) Grandchildren are free.

Miscellaneous Policies
  • Food and drinks will be confined to the cafe and lobby areas. Only water will be allowed in exercise areas. Food and drinks may be served in other areas only if prior arrangements have been made with the Director of the FLC.
  • The use of tobacco will not be allowed at the FLC at any time or in any area.
  • The FLC is providing a service to you. Therefore, it is required that each member pays his/her dues on time.
  • Champion Forest Baptist Church does not assume liability or responsibility for any person using the FLC. The use of all equipment (and participaton in all activities) is at the risk of the individual.
  • Equipment must be used for the specific use in which the equipment is designed. Individuals who check out equipment are financially responsible for any equipment damaged or destroyed by improper use, or any equipment that is lost or stolen. Equipment must be returned to the Welcome Desk after use.
  • There will be no soliciting at the FLC.

Children and Supervision

We often get the question, “Am I old enough to do that?” We've put together this guide to help make it less confusing. Unless otherwise noted, in this guide the word supervised will be defined as having a parent or guardian who is physically at the Family Life Center. The parent or guardian does not have to participate in the same activity as the child, but they must remain in the Family Life Center (ex. child may be in the gym playing basketball while the parent is upstairs on the treadmill). Unsupervised will be defined as not requiring a parent or guardian present at the FLC.

Membership requirements and guest fees do apply, and guests must have a current guest card/waiver on file. As always, children 17 and under must have a guest card filled out by their parent or legal guardian on file to participate.

Reservation Policies

Sunday School classes are encouraged to make group reservations for certain areas of the FLC for Sunday School socials. Areas that may be used for group reservations are:

  • Gymnasiums
  • Athletic Fields
  • Racquetball Courts
  • Sand Volleyball Courts
  • Cafe

Any Sunday School activities may be reserved by your class through its department. Your class coordinator knows the proper procedures for submitting a calendar request for the area you wish to reserve. All reservations are scheduled around existing FLC activities. It is recommended that all reservations be made at least two weeks in advance. All groups must have one adult sponsor who will be in charge of the activities. All groups are responsible for their own activities.

The FLC staff will gladly assist you with your plans. The group reserving the FLC areas for children and youth must supply adequate adult supervision. Adult supervisors are defined as anyone 18 years of age or older. The ratio of adult to children must be as follows:

  • Grades K-3 - 1 adult for every 8 children
  • Grades 4-5 - 1 adult for every 10 children
  • Grades 6-8 - 1 adult for every 10 youths
  • Grades 9-12 - 1 adult for every 15 youths

Cancellation Policies

Payment for FLC dues must be made on time! Payment envelopes may be mailed to the FLC or they may be dropped off at the Welcome Desk. You will be expected to make payments on time until a written cancellation of membership is received.

Intent to cancel your membership must be given at least 14 business day before the next billing date to avoid charges and fees.

Any outstanding balance at the time of cancellation must be resolved before any membership will be reinstated. There will be a $35 reinstatement fee for reapplication of memberships that have been dropped.
