Missed Class PoliciesCustomers will not receive any compensation or refund for missed classes/practices Team and Pre-Team programs do not allow make-up classes. Students in rec classes will be permitted to make up one missed class per month per enrollment. (For example, one missed class in January can be made up, but a second absence of the same missed class in January cannot be made up) During the Summer session only, make-up classes will be unlimited. Make-up classes can only be scheduled after the registered class has been missed. You cannot pre-schedule make up classes. Make-up classes must be scheduled within 30 days of the missed class. After 30 days, the make-up expires and cannot be used. Make-up classes must take place within 6 weeks of the missed class. Make-up classes must be scheduled in advance, walk-ins are not accepted. Make-up classes are only available in classes with openings. If a class is full, you cannot attend as a make-up. A student must make up in a class that is the same age group and/or skill level as the one they missed. If the same level is not available, the student can make up in a class below their level. Students cannot schedule a make-up in a class level higher than their current level. Make-up classes are not guaranteed. We will do our best to find a suitable class, however it is not always possible. If there is not a class that meets your needs, you can redeem your one make-up for a free open gym pass in lieu of the make-up class. Open gym passes must be picked up at the registration desk within 30 days of the missed class. Open gym passes must be picked up prior to attending open gym. You cannot ask for a pass while checking in for open gym. We recommend scheduling your make-up class as soon as possible after missing a class. Once a make-up class is scheduled, your make-up is considered redeemed even if you do not attend the class. 24-hours notice is required to make any changes to your make-up class. Missed make-up classes cannot be re-scheduled.
