What to do if it is raining or there's a need to cancel class:

The lead instructor/coach of your participant’s class will send an email if class is cancelled. If you do not hear from the coach by 1:00pm the day of class, please assume class is on as scheduled.
We will do our best to make-up cancelled classes but will not be issuing refunds.
We do NOT allow participants to attend a different class during the week if he/she is unable to attend their regularly scheduled class because most of our classes are at maximum capacity and we need to keep class sizes and coach:participant ratios consistent. Thank you for understanding!

October 8-11: First Tee Innovators Forum
