Make-Up Policy
We will allow 2 make-up classes per class you are enrolled in the session. Extra classes missed beyond this will be lost except for in emergency circumstances. These make-ups are subject to availability, and are not guaranteed. Make-up classes are only permitted if there was 24 hours notice of the cancelation and if there is open space in another day’s group lesson during the same session. All cancellations and make-up scheduling must be in writing through the online make-up form (telling a coach of your absence is not considered giving notice as coaches don’t manage the schedules). Less than 24 hours notice will be considered a no-show, and constitutes loss of lesson fee. Emergency cancellations will be handled on an individual basis. We recommend you do your make-ups earlier in the session as space gets more limited in the end of the session. You can even make-up prior to the days you are missing! Make-ups will not be scheduled until the 2nd week of classes. If you are sick or having symptoms, DO NOT COME TO CLASS!
| PLEASE NOTE IHSA RULES: No restrictions on badminton lessons during the season! I studied the IHSA rules and also confirmed with the IHSA that taking lessons at the SPBA during the high school badminton season does not affect IHSA eligibility. During the school year and during the badminton season any number of students from a school may participate in a sports lesson provided no coach from the school is involved in any respect and no matches are played. If a coach of an IHSA team coaches at a coaching school, no more than 2 players from the coach’s school may take lessons during the school year. |
