Can I reschedule or get a refund if my child can’t attend a clinic?We completely understand that plans can change. However, all clinic registrations are non-refundable. Our clinics operate with fixed costs for staffing, facility rentals, and other resources, so we’re unable to provide refunds. If you need to reschedule, we are happy to accommodate your request as long as it is made at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled clinic. Unfortunately, rescheduling requests made within 48 hours cannot be accommodated due to limited availability and high demand of our clinics. Thank you for your understanding! This policy also applies to ur open gyms and tryouts.
