STUDENT PROFILE & ACCOUNT SET-UP
We require a completed player registration form for each person who trains at our academy. Please complete and submit a player registration form online: www.royalbadmintonacademy.com. The form opens immediately after accessing our website.
Along with the player registration form, we require every student account to have a credit card on file.
Our policy is to receive payment in advance of the first training class. We accept cash, check, or Zelle. If using Zelle, please send payment to va@badmintonroyal.com and the account name is STARS SPORTS ACADEMY, INC. We also accept all major credit cards, however, there is a 4.5% processing fee in addition to the balance due.
PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to charge your credit card if we do not receive advanced payment of full registration within ten days of the first training class.
We communicate to parents and trainees via mass or individual emails. It is your responsibility to check for emails from us as we do not have control over whether our emails are delivered to your junk/spam folder.

CANCELLATION POLICY
In order for us to have proper coach coverage, we plan accordingly to the number of registrants scheduled for the week. Please notify us AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE if you or your child(ren) will not be attending the scheduled training session. We prefer email notification at va@badmintonroyal.com. If you cannot email us, please call 571-313-0061. If we do not get notified at least 24-hours in advance, the cost of the missed session will be forfeited, marked as “NO SHOW”, and will not be re-scheduled, made-up, or refunded.
Make-up classes must be scheduled in the current six-weeks in which you or your child(ren) is registered.
For cancellation of Private Training without prior 24-hours’ notice, a $30 cancellation fee will be charged.
PROGRESS ASSESSMENT
If you would like to discuss your or your child(ren)’s progress with our coaches, please let management know so that we may schedule a meeting or conference call. Please refrain from approaching the coaches during training sessions as this is disruptive to training.
SPORTSWEAR & RACQUET
We accept shoes that are worn *indoor only* AND are stamped with “NON-MARKING” on the soles. If the shoes do not meet both requirements, we will not allow you on court. We have shoes for rent ($5/session) and shoes for purchase. If you are unsure if your shoes are allowable, please ask us.
Please wear breathable and comfortable sportswear. Clothes that are too loose may impede physical movements.
We can provide basic-level racquets for the first few classes. However, we recommend purchasing a racquet to which you or your child can become accustomed.
Other
Please have ample water or beverages to keep adequately hydrated. We do not have water fountains on site. We do have bottled water and other beverage for sale.
There are a number of courts that are used for training. The other courts are subject to court reservations. Unless instructed by a coach, please do not occupy any unused courts. Please do not use any court while waiting for your child(ren) unless you have reserved it.
