 24 Hour Notice

The policy states that any scheduled lesson may be cancelled without penalty if done so at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled time by the client or the instructor. 

Less Than 24 Hour Notice

Clients will be allowed two (2) short- notice cancellations without penalty within a one year period. After that you will be automatically charged for the lesson. If Edge Baseball Academy staff makes a scheduling error or calls to cancel a lesson within 24 hours of the scheduled time this will count against that instructor. Edge Baseball staff is also allowed two (2) scheduling errors/ last minute cancellations within one year period. Any cancellations/ scheduling errors after this will result in a lesson credit to your account.
