Club Policies

Payment:

Payment is due the first practice. If there is a waiting list, the spots will be reserved by payment. If a diver has not paid they will lose their spot in the session.

Late Fees:

Late Fees are assessed after the first week of the session at $10 per diver.

Refunds:

Full refunds are given when a pre-payment has been given and a session has not begun. After a session has begun no refunds are available. Refunds after a session has started are NOT available for any of the following reasons:

Religious obligations, school obligations, musical practices, recitals, trips, other athletic practices or events, family obligations, vacations, school trips, failure to obtain transportation or any other reason not approved by the staff of Upstate Diving.

Pro-rating:

Pro-rating of practice fees is available for new Upstate Participants if they have started in the middle of the session. This is a one time benefit. No other type of prorating is offered once a diver has registered with the club.

Group Levels:

Group levels are assigned by skill groups. Divers are assigned a group and must pay that level's diving fees. If diver wishes to only practice in a reduced number of practices for that session, the same group practice fees apply. No pro-rating is offered for divers who cannot attend all the practices in a session.

Individual Practices:

Practices when a diver is not signed up for a session is $25 each practice. This does NOT include private lessons. If a session is full, individual practices may not be available.

Make-ups:

Make-up practices are not allowed. If there are documented extenuating circumstances, such a death in the family, or a congressional hearing, an exception may be made. The following reasons are NOT sufficient for a make up class:

Religious obligations, school obligations, musical practices, recitals, trips, other athletic practices or events, family obligations, vacations, school trips, failure to obtain transportation or any other reason not approved by the staff of Upstate Diving.

College Divers:

If there is space available, college divers who wish to train over the summer with Upstate pay a one time practice fee of $475 for 1 practice or unlimited Upstate practices for the summer from May 15 to August 15. AAU adult insurance is required. Returning Upstate Divers practice fees are $375 for the summer.
