Academy Memberships

  • Elite Netball Ltd do not sell places for individual sessions and require full season sign up (September to July) for classes with payment by monthly Direct Debit. Dates typically align with local council term times.

  • By agreeing to the Direct Debit, you are entering an 11-month agreement of 11 monthly payments.
  • Should you default on a payment there is a £5.00 administration charge to re-process the Direct Debit.
  • Upon accepting your child’s place, you will be required to enrol on the automatic Direct Debit system.
  • Direct debit is the only form of payment accepted.
  • You will receive a monthly invoice via email on the 20th of the month.  Payments will be taken automatically from members’ nominated bank accounts 2-3 days later.  This payment covers the upcoming month of classes, for example: the first payment in August covers the September classes.

  • Queries on amounts and subscriptions must also be raised to our accounts team via [email protected]

  • A partial refund, set at the discretion of the Director of Elite Netball Ltd, will be offered if a session has been cancelled within 24hrs of the session date when no alternative is offered.
  • Elite Netball Ltd reserves the right to modify a session due to adverse weather conditions, low attendance or other unforeseen circumstances.

  • If a payment has been taken from your account in error, please let us know by email to [email protected] with supporting evidence and we will issue a refund subject to funds clearing our account.

  • Important – Terminated memberships do not qualify for a refund for the sessions which have already been attended during the current membership period.
  • Important – If you terminate your membership (withdraw your child from the academy) with Elite Netball Ltd, you will be charged for a cost of 2 months of your direct debit from the point of notification of termination.
  • Elite Netball Ltd cannot be held liable for injuries that happen to its players away from netball classes and are therefore unable to offer refunds or credits for short- or long-term injuries but will review each incident on a case-by-case view.

  • Should your child become absent from sessions due to a medium/long term injury, please contact a member of the admin team by email to discuss via [email protected]

  • Catch-up sessions are subject to availability and, when offered, must be redeemed before the end of the season in which the original absence occurred. Please be aware that, due to the high occupancy rates and strong attendances at Elite Netball Ltd classes, catch-up sessions should not be assumed as available. This is also calendar dependent too.

  • Elite Netball Ltd reserves the right to retain membership fees for sessions that you choose not to or are unable to attend.
  • Should Elite Netball Ltd terminate a parent or player’s membership solely due to a breach of the code of conduct this would subsequently disqualify them from attending future classes, with the Direct Debit cancelled by our admin team and no refunds offered.

Class cancellation and adverse weather policy

  • We are unable to refund customers for their coaching sessions when the outdoor facilities are open and therefore chargeable to Elite Netball Ltd.
  • Neither refunds nor future credits will be issued should facilities be closed as a result of force major occurrences, including but not limited to, earthquakes, severe flooding, viral/bacterial pandemics, local authority/government closures, war and threats of domestic or international terrorism.
  • Should there be a temporary service interruption resulting in missed classes, Elite Netball Ltd may implement one or several business continuity measures. At our discretion, and where possible, we may recover the lost training time through the extension of future classes, offer virtual and remote learning opportunities via video call or live-stream video. We may also offer an invitation to one-off promotional day subject to the availability of suitable human resources and facility usage.
  • Although we will try our best to provide catch-up sessions to players that have missed classes, we will not refund/credit/rollover or deduct sessions fees from the current or future block bookings.
  • Elite Netball Ltd reserves the right to cancel or rearrange sessions affected by severe/extreme weather at our discretion. Elite Netball Ltd will not offer a refund if the participant cannot attend the rearranged session.

  • Elite Netball Ltd may add you to a WhatsApp group for your child’s class to communicate key information relating to your child’s training.

Data Protection for children:

Elite Netball Academy offers netball camps and coaching classes for children, with this in mind please find our data protection policy for children below, this policy refers to residents of the UK and we cannot be held responsible for internal country law outside of the UK:

We are aware that in the UK only children aged 13 or over can provide their own consent. For children under this age, we will require consent from whoever holds parental responsibility for the child before we can process their data.

This data is protected from the outset thanks to the strict access audit procedures that we have in place on our systems, should you wish to request a data access audit from us please email us with your request.

We are compliant with the data protection principles and the processing of children’s personal data is central to this. We have a lawful basis for processing a child’s personal data due to the nature of our business providing netball training services and where possible we liaise with the parents or guardians of the child as a point of contact.

The personal data belonging to a child will be processed in the greatest confidence and the child has the right to remove their data at any time. They can also request to access their personal data; request rectification; object to processing and have their personal data erased at any time by emailing us [email protected].

As a matter of good practice, we have completed a DPIA to help us assess and mitigate the risks to children and we take children’s views into account when designing our processing. The data we hold is deemed low risk and a DPIA was completed to highlight how seriously we take our responsibilities as a data controller.

Any electronic communications sent to children will comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003. Electronic communications from Elite Netball Academy will be in the form of email only and where possible are sent to the child’s responsible parent.
