Signed both kids up for a preschool football batch in June. It's on an open turf and the rain has wiped out three of the last four Saturdays. No make-up sessions, and the term is paid till October. The 4 year old asks every Friday night if football is on. Do we ride out the monsoon or move them to something indoors till it stops?
Where we live the rains are far heavier, so we just assume June to September is a loss for anything outdoors. Our older one does an indoor gymnastics class for those months and goes back to the field after. I would at least ask the academy for a credit, they may agree if a few parents ask together.
At that age they just want to run around with other kids. In our building a gang of little ones plays football under the parking roof when it pours, all the mummies and papas standing around with chai. Free, and nobody cancels 😊
parking football is the best football. just keep an eye out for cars reversing in 🤷
We paid for a full term of skating once and the rink was shut for repairs for half of it. Asked for credit, got it on the second email, so ask in writing. But if the 4 year old still asks every Friday I'd keep it. The wanting to go is the hard part.
Keep going
