Of course. We trust that you will give us as much information as possible about any medical condition your child has before camp starts. Please share full details when booking. All information will remain confidential.

 

What should I do if my child is sick or unable to attend? 

You know your child best. That’s why we trust that you’re responsible for ensuring your child is well enough to participate in sports and activities, and for ensuring other children aren’t affected by your child’s ill-health. Please contact us as soon as possible if this is not the case.  

 

Are your coaches all Olympians?

All our head coaches are Olympians and then any assistant coaches have been through a thorough recruitment process ensuring they have the experience and qualifications to deliver the high-quality programme we offer.

 

Whilst we are extremely proud that every Coaching Workshop is led by an Olympian, we cannot guarantee that every group in the coaching workshop will have an Olympian leading it. If not an Olympian though they will have an experienced Physical Education teacher or level 2 coach, who has competed at a high level in their chosen sport.

 

My child is ill can I have a refund?

The class/workshop fees are not refundable however due to unforeseen circumstances a future date may be offered, following a discussion and written consent of Bright Star Sports.

Are the parents expected to participate in the classes? 

With younger children the parents are actively encouraged to help their children. A child's independence is one of the learning skills in the older groups so we encourage the parents to be supportive on the side lines or please feel free to take a break!
