HKBA programs are held at government (LCSD) facilities, which are sometimes unavailable due to public, organizational, and government use. This may lead to changes in the schedule. We appreciate and ask for your kind understanding in this matter. We value your understanding and strive to minimize disruptions. If a change occurs, we'll offer alternative classes and inform you via our notification system with TeamSnap. Please check the Updated Class Schedule page frequently for any updates.
Refunds are only provided for programs cancelled by HKBA. We do not issue refunds for individual missed classes, practices or for changes in the class schedule. Unused fees may be credited towards future programs within the same Academic Year (Fall ‘24-Summer ‘25) or must be used within one year of original date. Please submit a request to determine eligibility for and obtain approval for make-up classes or credits. All request are subject to approval.
A missed class is any session a student-athlete is unable to attend. Make-up classes can be requested during the current Academy Year for classes or holiday camps, or within one year from original date. No refunds are provided for missed classes. This policy applies only to HKBA’s regular programs such as term classes and holiday camps. Special programs such as the Premier League, Elite Team and any other competitive teams are excluded.
We generally do not offer makeup lessons for Special Programs due to the need for consistent team cohesion and development. These programs focus on advanced skill development and competitive play, which requires a stable team environment that differfrom our regular HKBA classes. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and we strive to be fair. If a significant issue prevents your child from attending practice, please reach out to us directly. We’ll review such cases individually, but please note that missing a practice occasionally typically does not warrant a makeup lesson.
*Any existing agreements or make-up arrangements made prior to the policy update [June 2024] will be honoured by HKBA.*
Classes that are canceled due to weather or health hazards can be made up during any term and holiday camp within the same Academy Year (Fall’24-Summer’25). Please follow the Make-Up Class Policy to arrange a make-up. No refund will be issued in any case.

The promoted class size for all programs is strictly reinforced. We aim to provide as much contact time for our student-athletes with coaches for a long lasting positive experience.
