All members must complete a Bloom Athlete Account Payment Intent Form as part of the online commitment forms. This form will let you choose whether you plan to fully participate in fundraising, partially participate, or pay all season expenses out-of-pocket.
Regardless of your payment choice, all members are required to keep a debit or credit card on file for their Bloom Athlete Account. This card will only be charged if a scheduled payment is not fully covered by fundraising credits or personal deposits by the due date.
For example, if a $300 payment is due on August 15 and your athlete has earned $100 through fundraising, only the remaining $200 would be due. If that balance is not paid by the due date, the card on file will be automatically charged for the remaining amount, plus a card processing fee.
Families are encouraged to make payments through fundraising profits, cash, check, or other approved methods before each due date so the card on file does not need to be charged. If the full amount is available in your Bloom Athlete Account before the due date, your card will not be charged. If only a partial amount is available, only the remaining balance will be charged.
Your Bloom Athlete Account should continue to build funds throughout the season like a savings account for your athlete. Expenses such as uniforms, competition fees, choreography, and other program costs may not show as deductions until Bloom Cheer & Tumbling is required to make those payments based on vendor or event deadlines.
Families will receive access to a Google account link showing deposits and deductions. It is your responsibility to review this regularly and make sure your account stays current.
If the card on file is inactive or declined, and the required payment has not been made by the scheduled due date, the athlete will not be allowed to participate in practice or be choreographed into the routine. If payments remain past due after choreography, the athlete may be replaced with no refund issued.
