What if I miss a practice?

You are responsible for your own attendance.  As a courtesy to your coach and fellow players, we ask that you notify us in advance, in the event that you must miss a practice. Our focus is on the players at practice on any given day. It is important to note that you get out what you put in, so I wouldn’t miss too often. If you have an upcoming vacation, please notify your coach as soon as possible so he/she can help you choose other program options to meet financial and time commitments.Unfortunately, there will be no discounts, fee reductions or refunds for missed practices.
