Students learn basic martial art techniques; blocks, punches, kicks and patterns for each belt rank. We emphasize that UMA is a martial art for self-defense and as a result of this training, the martial art student develops confidence in their ability to defend themselves, even as we stress resolving conflict in a mature way. Our class consists of basic techniques, and also games relating to martial arts which help with balance, co-ordination and are just fun! Students are given the opportunity to test for belts when the curriculum for their current rank is met. Setting and reaching goals helps students stay motivated and excited.

Before Clubs Start

  • Every student participating in enrichment clubs after school Must Be Registered for ASP. This is to prepare for the possibility that a parent/guardian is late or unable to pickup the student at the time of dismissal. You will only be charged by Cobb County if your child stays in ASP. Download the ASP Parent Sign Up Guide Here
  • Please send a note with your child every day that they stay after school for a FunClubs' program.
  • Students are sent directly to club classrooms by their teachers after car-riders and bus-riders are dismissed.

Dismissal After Clubs

  • Dismissal Time for most programs will be at 3:40pm (please review your confirmation email for specific class times or log into your FunClubs Active Account). If you student is in a 2nd hour program, dismissal will be at 4:50pm.
  • Dismissal Location for students designated as Car-Riders will be escorted to the Front of the School (please plan to arrive a few minutes early).
  • Students will only be signed out to their parent or guardian who must be on the pick-up list on that student’s registration. Alternatively, the parent or guardian may send a note authorizing an alternative pick-up person.
  • Students participating in ASP will be signed into ASP following club dismissal.

Cancellations & Absences

  • FunClubs after school programs will follow the public school calendar. Classes will not meet on scheduled holidays, teacher work days, early release days, etc.
  • In the event of inclement weather, FunClubs will follow the public school closing decisions.
  • When a class is canceled for any reason, FunClubs will attempt to schedule a make up class if the semester has additional weeks available (before the Winter Break or Summer Break).
  • If your child will be absent for any reason, please contact your school's front office and they will notify your child's instructor. Please note that we are unable to provide makeup classes for individual students who are absent.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW MUCH DO CLASSES COST?

The tuition for each class is set by the individual instructor. Program tuition can vary based on the materials provided, length of the class, or specialty of the course topic. All tuition prices listed are for the entire 10-14 week semester, depending on the number of days available on the school calendar. To see more details, discounts, and installment plan options, click SIGN UP.

HOW LONG DO PROGRAMS LAST?

Time: Most after school enrichment classes last 60 minutes long. Some programs offer a 2nd session or longer class times depending on their lesson plans and course topic. Semester: Most classes meet once a week for 10-14 weeks, depending on the number of days available. In general, all FunClubs after school programs will follow the public school calendar. Classes will not meet on scheduled holidays, teacher work days, early release days, etc. To see the time, day, and schedule details for each class, click SIGN UP.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS OR DISCOUNTS?

YES! When you enroll your child you will have the option of paying in full or choosing our convenient 4-Month Payment Plan (available for most programs). Some participating classes also offer multiple discounts, including Early-Bird, Sibling, Multi-Season, and Referral Rewards.

How do I create a new student account?

Please note that creating an account before registration opens is not possible, but as soon as you choose a class and place it in your cart when registration opens, those classes will be held for you until you complete the registration process.

Here are a few tips:
1) Know which classes you want to sign up for beforehand.
2) If registering more than one student, you can select all of their classes at the same time and assign who will attend each later during the registration process. If two students are doing the same class, just increase the Quantity in the cart to 2.
3) If a class says Waitlist Only, do still join the class. There is often some movement that happens after the first days of registration that helps open up spots for students on the waitlist.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY?

Before registration closes at your school you have the opportunity to cancel your child's program by logging into your ActiveNet account. All cancellations incur a 5% fee with the remaining balance refunded to the form of payment used during registration. After registration closes, FunClubs will follow the Standard Refund Policy for each Program Provider and consider requests on a case-by-case basis. We will not issue credits or refunds due to missed classes or scheduling conflicts arising from sporting events, other enrichment classes, etc. Every effort will be made to reschedule classes that are cancelled due to inclement weather.

who should i contact if i have a question?

FunClubs: If you have any questions about the registration process, submitting payment information, after school dismissal procedures, or schedule details, please contact FunClubs at office@funclubs.com or by calling 678-408-0118.
Program Provider: If you have more specific questions about the curriculum being taught or materials required for class, we may refer you to the Program Provider.

Welcome to FunClubs at Dowell!

Please note that creating an account before registration opens is not possible, but as soon as you choose a class and place it in your cart (on 7/23 at 8pm or shortly after), those classes will be held for you until you complete the registration process.

Here are a few tips:

  1. Know which classes you want to sign up for beforehand
  2. If registering more than one student, you can select all of their classes at the same time and assign who will attend each later during the registration process. If two students are doing the same class, just increase the Quantity in the cart to 2.
  3. If a class says Waitlist Only, do still join the class. There is often some shuffling that happens after the first days of registration that helps open up spots for students on the waitlist.

The second tip is important because parents will sometimes register one child and then start the process all over again for the 2nd child...this increases the chance that a class may sell out in the meantime.


Hope this all helps!
