By signing below, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by all the policies and guidelines outlined in this document.

Sessions Cancellation Policy

▪ Season Commitment:

Once a player is registered for the season or term, they are committed for the entire duration. Dropping out and redeeming the remaining payment is not permitted unless explicit approval is given by the academy. This policy is in place because we have limited spots available, and membership is closed after a certain point. Therefore, commitment is essential to ensure fairness and maintain the integrity of our programs.

▪ Sickness Cancellation Notice Period:

There is no cancellation of sessions at the academy unless due to medical illness or emergency leave.

• All such requests must be submitted in writing via:

• academy WhatsApp (050-3351658)
• email (info@atomicsfootball.com)

▪ No-Show Policy:

If a player fails to attend a session without prior notice, the full session fee will be charged. Commitment to training is essential for player development, the academy is dedicated to enhancing each player's skills. Our reputation depends on this commitment, and clear communication among players, parents, and coaches is vital to maintaining a healthy and supportive environment for everyone involved.

▪ Program Cancellations:

In the event that Atomics Football cancels a session or program, participants will be notified 24hrs in advance, and a full refund or credit for future sessions will be provided.

Behavior & Academy Guidelines

▪ Respect and Sportsmanship:

Players must show respect to coaches, teammates, opponents, and referees at all times. Any form of bullying, disrespect, or unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated.

▪ Attendance and Punctuality:

Players are expected to attend all scheduled sessions and arrive on time. Repeated tardiness or absenteeism may result in reduced playing time or other consequences.

▪ Academy Values:

All players are expected to embody the values of Atomics Football—integrity, teamwork, and dedication—both on and off the field.

▪ Disciplinary Actions:

Violation of these guidelines may result in warnings, suspension, or expulsion from the academy, depending on the severity of the behavior.

3. Support System: Players should be aware that they have a robust support system within the academy. If a player feels uncomfortable, experiences any form of unfairness, or has concerns about their experience, they should immediately reach out to the academy director, Mr. Firas Khalil.

7. Equipment: Players are required to bring their full kit, water bottle, and shin guards. Sharing these items with others is not permitted to encourage self-sufficiency and proper preparation for important moments.
