Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be submitted via email to training@bellevuebadminton.com.

Students are not allowed to cancel on their own after registration. They must email or talk to us
for cancellations due to these cancellation policies:

Full Session Registration Cancellation Policies
● No Cancellations for Single Classes: If a student registers for a full session, the
student cannot cancel individual classes within that session.

Reasoning: Full session registrations are prioritized because they represent a commitment to
the entire course. As an incentive, we offer a $5 discount per class for full session registrations,
as well as priority registration to better ensure a spot in the class.

Example: Brad Minton enrolled in a full session of classes which is 8 weeks long. Brad can no
longer attend the 6th week of class. Brad will not be able to get a refund or credit for the missing
class and the missed class is forfeited.

Cancelling all remaining classes in a full session registration
● Cancelling all remaining classes in a session is allowed: If a student needs to cancel
the remaining classes in a session, it is allowed.
● 80% Credit: Students asking for credit back onto their CourtReserve account will receive
80% of the remaining classes’ value.
● 50% Refund: Students asking for a refund back onto their credit card will receive 50% of
their remaining classes’ value.

Example: Brad Minton, a member at BBC, enrolled in a full session of classes which is 8 weeks
long for $352.00. After 4 weeks, Brad had an unexpected situation which disallowed him to
attend the last 4 weeks of class. Brad called and asked to cancel the remaining 4 classes. He is
okay with receiving credit since he will join again next session. Brad will receive $140.80 credit onto
his CourtReserve account. (4 classes remaining = $176 x 80% = $140.80)

Partial Session (Drop-ins) Registration Cancellation Policies
● Cancellations receive 80% credit back to their CourtReserve account or 50%
refund back to their credit card.

Exemptions for Full or Partial Registrations:
● 100% credit for students who are sick or injured with a Doctor’s note.
    ○ Only credit will be given. No refunds back to their credit card

Make-Up Classes

We do not offer make-up classes for Recreational Classes or Development Team Classes. Any missed classes are forfeited, including missing class due to illness. Missing class due to illness with a doctor's note will receive 100% credit for any missed classes. Missing class due to injury with a doctor's note will receive either 100% credit or 80% refund for any missed classes.

Class Advancements

All students will be assessed during each session of class. An email is sent out to those who have moved up for the next session at the beginning of Week 6. 

To ensure fairness amongst our students, here is how we decide how a student moves up in class placement: 

Each student will be assessed during their class by their coaches. Three weeks prior to the end of each session, each coach will nominate five names per level to be moved up. Once students have been nominated, all coaches will vote to determine if the student nominated is eligible and ready for the next class placement.

Students with poor performance and attitude may be moved down in class placement or moved out of competitive training. A verbal warning and discussion with the student's parent will be done before any retrogression.

Attire & Equipment

All policies and attire requirements are in place for the safety and comfort of our participants. Wearing proper attire not only can improve performance but can prevent injuries and offer protection.

All athletes, regardless of class and level, are required to wear athletic wear. This includes tracksuits, sweatsuits, t-shirts, polo shirts, shorts, and socks. No jeans allowed.

All athletes are required to wear closed-toe, athletic, non-marking, rubber-soled shoes. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE COURTS IN ANY OTHER SHOES.

All athletes in competitive level classes (Competitive Advanced and High Performance) are required to wear badminton-specific court shoes. 

For children ages 4-10 or children under 4’6” (54”/137 cm), we highly recommend a junior-sized racket with a grip size of G5 or smaller (G6) and a thin grip for the badminton-specific development of each athlete.

If you do not have a racket of your own yet, there are rackets for purchase at the Pro Shop. You may also borrow a racket to use during class. Loaner rackets are first come, first served, and the Club cannot guarantee a racket will be available for use every time.

Rackets are available for free for students in our classes to borrow.
