Where can I learn more about FTA's Summer Program?

I already have a Sport Connect Username and Password, because my child participates in other sports in town. Do I need to create a new account?
No need to create a new account. You can click login and use the same username and password you have with the other organization.  It will then ask you to confirm the email address associated with the account. 
If you do not know the information or want a new username, you can scroll down and click "Continue Creating New Account" once you see the notification that the email address is already in use.

What grade level do I use to register my child?

For placement, use the grade your child will be in the fall.

Can I place my child in an advanced class?
A child can move to another class based on the instructor’s assessment of skills.

Can I leave my children unattended?
Supervision is not provided for children who are not in their scheduled class.
We recommend that parents of children who might need special assistance stay at the courts during the class.

Can I get a refund if our schedule changes and we can’t attend?
No refunds. Changes are allowed if requested at least 2 weeks before the beginning of class. Credit will be given for a future class.

Will the schedule be modified during the summer?
FTA reserves the right to cancel, add or combine classes based on enrollments.

Can I make up a rain day or a missed class?
Yes. If more than 50% of a class is cancelled, you may request a pro-rated refund or credit for future classes.
Please contact [email protected] to request a pro-rated refund. Be sure to include the name of the participant as well as the date and time of the class for which you are requesting a refund.
