Lesson Suspensions

We accept that there may be occasions where you/your child may not be able to attend for an extended period due to injury, long-term illness or other personal reasons. In these circumstances, we offer the following options

1. Payments are suspended for that period. In this instance, you/your child will be removed from the class and added to the top of our waiting list. We are unable to hold spaces without payment.
2. You continue to make payments to guarantee your space. In this instance, there is no requirement to complete our suspension form. We would request however that you email us at lessons@dragonflyleisure.co.uk to advise that you/your child will not be attending due to illness, injury or personal reasons so that we can inform our coaching teams accordingly.

It is important to note that our charges are calculated on 100% occupancy and as such we are unable to reserve a child’s place without payment.   

The following Terms and Conditions apply for suspensions (where payments have been suspended)

• Lessons can only be suspended for a full calendar month (i.e 1st – 31st) and must have a start and end date. Please note that we need at least 10 days notice before your next direct debit collection date (on or around 1st of any month).
• Any person/child requesting a lesson suspension will be removed from the lesson programme and placed on the top of the waiting list. Only when a place becomes available will the person/child be offered to rejoin the lesson following suspension. Payments will re-commence from the new start date.
• Suspensions can only be submitted using our online sports lesson suspension form. We will not accept requests by any other means.
• The suspension period cannot exceed 6 months.
