WET WEATHER POLICY

​

WET WEATHER

Classes will usually take place if there is light to moderate rain. Please wear a waterproof jacket to class.

 

The session time can also be used to teach the students game strategies and techniques while sitting undercover.

 

However, we cannot run the class if the Hong Kong Government has issued a :

 

1) Amber Thunderstorm warning,

 

2) Red or black rainstorm warning,

 

3) No.3 or above typhoon signal 

 

via the Hong Kong Observatory website.

 

Please note that our company liability insurance does not cover parents/guardians/players or BESA HK staff in the above mentioned weather conditions.

 

The coaches will notify all parents/guardians/players via your soccer class WhatsApp group approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the class.

 

Every effort will be made to provide a message with as much advance notice as possible, however, it will be at the discretion of the Head Coach/Senior Coach on duty, and due to to the nature of the weather in Hong Kong, this could be up to 5 minutes prior to the scheduled class start time.

 

Please do not message BESA HK staff to ask if the class is cancelled due to weather, but wait for the announcement to be made by BESA HK staff on your soccer class WhatsApp group.

 

The Head Coach/Senior Coach on duty decision is final.

 

If the scheduled class is needed to be cancelled due to weather after the class has started, BESA HK staff will notify all parents/guardians via your soccer class WhatsApp group and stay with the players until they have been picked up at the normal session end time if needed.

 

 

AIR POLLUTION

According to the www.aqicn.org website, if the pollution level reading exceeds Air Visual App-PM2.5/ 200+/Purple Colour at the venue 30 minutes before the scheduled start time, BESA HK will cancel the class.

 

BESA HK staff will notify your soccer class WhatsApp group approximately 30 minutes prior to the schedules class time.

 

 

If a scheduled class is cancelled due to the above mentioned wet weather or air pollution conditions, a refund or credit will not be given, as it is seen as an act of nature and beyond our control. A date for makeup class in the same term will be offered to you by Admin.

​

 

PLAYER REGISTRATION POLICY

By enrolling in a course, you are enrolling for the entire block of sessions. See the Term dates under the 'Times & Venues' section of the website www.besahk.com 

 

It is the responsibility of the person who completed the online registration form to provide proof of payment to BESA HK Admin. If you select the Online Bank Transfer/ATM Transfer option, you will need to send a photo of the receipt directly to BESA HK Admin Whatsapp (+852 66556196). Please include the players name with the receipt.

 

Once BESA HK Admin has acknowledged your proof of payment, your registration will be considered final and complete.

 

Payment needs to be made in full for the agreed block of sessions on or before the first lesson of the Term.

 

If a student joins a block of sessions that has already started, then the fees will be pro-rated for the remainder of term. Please contact BESA HK Admin Whatsapp (+852 66556196) to calculate your total term fee.

 

No refund will be provided for students withdrawing from a course after it commences.

 

No credit/refund or makeup arranged for classes that are cancelled once the class has begun.

 

Please note, the venues and times for individual classes do change according to the allocation booking system by the Hong Kong Government Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Classes do not always take place at the same times and venues. All times for classes will be as close to the stated time as possible, and all venues for term classes are located within the Park Island or Tung Chung local community.

 

Attending and participating in a class without prior notification to BESA HK Admin is considered equivalent to enrollment, requiring payment for the class.

 

Please contact BESA HK Admin Whatsapp (+852 66556196) if you are having any issue paying on time.

 

BESA HK promises to deliver the agreed number of sessions. However, as we have experienced recently in Hong Kong, there might be times of civil unrest, or other unusual or unforeseen circumstances, resulting in late changes or cancellations to classes. We put the safety of players, parents and staff as our priority. A makeup session will be offered to you by Admin. Class fees will not be refunded or credited.

 

We run classes on Public Holidays, however the time of the class might change slightly. You will be notified by BESA HK Admin on the class Whatsapp group.

 

If a class is cancelled due to venue booking problems we will arrange a make up session.

 

If a student misses a class for a reason other than medical, the lesson will not be refunded/credited or a makeup class arranged.

 

 

Please also read the separate Wet Weather and Air Pollution Policy regarding changes and cancellations to classes.
