If you have any personal questions that you do not wish other parents to view, please email us at AFACoaching14@gmail.com or set up a time to talk via zoom.
- 30 Day Cancellation Policy: All AFA memberships are set up as recurring subscriptions/payments. This applies to both monthly, upfront, or free trial payments. To cancel your contract/payment renewal, you must give a 30-day written notice prior to your contract renewal date in order to cancel your contract and subscription payment with Adams Fundamentals Academy LLC.

Cancellation cannot be done in person; notice must be in written communication (via email) to AFACoaching14@gmail.com 30 days or more prior to your contract renewal day/next automatic renewal payment date.
- For Example: If your contract/next payment is set to auto-renew on Dec 1st. You must cancel on November 1st or sooner in writing via email. November 2nd would be considered late & the auto renew payment on Dec 1st will go through and your card will be charged.

Depending on the option you choose, your card will be charged every 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. Our current payment options are in the AFA Pricing document for you to review. Payment is automatically renewed, and your card will be charged unless canceled in writing 30 days prior to your next payment date.

However, if you submit the “Makeup Session Form” 48 hours before our session stating your child can’t make it to our assigned session - we WILL allow you to come train on the last Sunday of the month from 2:30-3:30 pm.

Sessions do not pause and will continue based on the commitment you have agreed to. Please communicate with Coach Mario ahead of time when you are going out of town so we can plan accordingly by providing homework and recorded lessons.
- Currently our program offers 1 on 1, and Semi Private training yearly, Monday-Thursday, and Group sessions are on Sundays all year. If you can’t make it to a session that week or weekend - we do allow players to come to the last Sunday of the month (unless it’s a major holiday or otherwise communicated) and train for 1 hour if and only if you (as a parent) complete the Makeup Session Form inside of our members area stating, you can’t make it that week 48 hours BEFORE the session. The makeup session is in a group format with other players in our academy.
- I understand that 1 on 1 clients and Semi Private clients will have the last week of each month off, unless stated on the calendar inside the Skool Community.
- I understand that Coach Mario takes a vacation for the full month of July every year, at which point AFA Assistant Coaches will take control of training sessions until Coach Mario Returns August 1st.If this is an issue, please notify us immediately.
