AMBITION PLAYERS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED FOR WINTER PROGRAMS (as per offerings below):
We will do everything we can to accommodate each player to deliver the instruction & time equivalent of the Winter program that you’ve registered for this winter season. If we are at any time unable to deliver upon this in a safe and mutually feasible fashion, or if we are required by the state to cancel any remaining winter programming outright, we will refund the balance of registration fees paid for canceled winter sessions. All affected players have been emailed instructions on how to check their remaining winter sessions balance and the link to sign up for small group sessions if they have outstanding winter instruction hours remaining.
