Program Duration:
The Rising Stars Program (RSP) spans one season, and participants are required to enroll for the entire season. If a participant decides to discontinue mid-season, their spot cannot be guaranteed upon reapplication and there will be a penalty fee assessed for 25% of the remaining contract.
Payment Schedule & Policy:
Payments are due every 4 weeks in advance and will be automatically charged to the registered credit card through autopay in Mindbody. Failure to make timely payments may result in the suspension of program benefits.
Registration Process:
Registration for the Rising Stars Program is subject to approval by the team of 888 coaches. Eligibility and acceptance are determined based on the participant's commitment and potential in table tennis.
Leave of Absence & Emergencies:
The program offers a discounted rate acknowledging that participants may miss up to 20% of training, but there is no provision to put the program on hold or carry forward missed sessions due to vacations or medical emergencies. No exceptions apply to this policy.
Tournament Coaching:
Coaching from the 888 team is provided for Four (4) 888 hosted tournaments. Additional coaching for major tournaments or selection trials is available at an extra cost.
Coach Selection:
While participants can express preferences for coaches, coach assignments are at the full discretion of 888. The final decision on coach selection rests with 888.
Private Lesson Rescheduling:
Private lessons can be rescheduled if the participant informs us or reschedules online 48 hours in advance. Failure to provide advance notice results in the inability to reschedule that lesson and loss of lesson credit, with no exceptions.
Mandatory Leagues:
888 league participation is mandatory for Silver, Gold ad 888 Elite levels. League ratings influence program evaluation and determine training partners for group lessons.
Penalty for Non-Communication for Group Classes:
Participants are required to inform 888 up to 24 hours in advance if they will miss a group class to avoid penalties. Failure to do so may affect their class credits of training fees.
No Make-up for Group Lessons:
There is no provision for make-up sessions or refunds for missed group lessons, following the standard for school and other sports in a group setting.
Brand Representation:
Wearing an 888 T-shirt is mandatory at tournaments, public events, and national/international training camps. This ensures consistent brand representation.
