11. Wet Weather Policy
12.1 When Will I Know if My Session Is Canceled?
We make weather calls normally 75-90 minutes (latest 60 minutes) in advance for day sessions and 45-60 minutes in advance for early morning squads.
11.2 Where Can I Find the Call for the Day?
We publish the call on our Facebook groups (Manly & Maroubra) and on our homepage. You will also receive an email if we decide to cancel. If you are unsure whether your session is canceled or not, please call 1300-865-539.
11.3 Under What Conditions Will We Cancel?
We monitor the weather radar on the Internet to check the intensity and likely path of any incoming rain. If the rain is intermittent and not too heavy, we will continue with the classes. If the radar shows heavy or dangerous conditions, we will most likely cancel, especially if there is a thunderstorm warning, which could pose a danger to players and staff.
Please note, we are trying our best to make the right call, sometimes a dangerous cloud is missing us by a few kilometers, and we had canceled; sometimes we call it on, and we get wetter than expected. If you do not like to play in wet conditions, please withdraw 12 hours in advance, and do not just decide not to turn up on the day.
11.4 What Happens if My Session Gets Canceled?
- Beginner players: We will reschedule your session by one week, which extends your course by one week.
- Squad players: If you are on credits, you will get your credits back automatically; in case you are on membership, a refund is not provided.
Please remember: Our main goal is to run as many classes as possible while offering an enjoyable experience for our players, making sure our equipment is not getting damaged, and ensuring we can all train in a safe environment.
