Session Notifications & Wet Weather / Cancellation Process

 

Cancellations will be communicated via Teamer App which all members will be added to and required to confirm session attendance on each week. If you do not join the App you will be unable to receive training notifications.

 

Sessions will only be cancelled due to weather when the surface is unplayable or conditions are unsafe. If a session is cancelled a catch-up will be scheduled for the last week of the term OR first week of the new term.

 

If we are unable to schedule a catch-up session then the cost of the cancelled session will be credited to your account.
