Below is Mark Zarbo Hockey’s cancellation, weather & payment policies. We understand that things happen and schedules can change. We do our best to be flexible and take extenuating circumstances into account. If ever any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
**Note: Due to current COVID Pandemic we are having to be strict on our cancellation policies. We chose not to raise our camp/session rates or change our policies. For that reason we are being strict on our cancel policy as we are operating at reduced capacities to adhere to NYS guidelines. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Mark Zarbo Hockey Payment Policy
After filling out and submitting a sign up form, players will receive an email receipt with copy of their sign up, invoice and payment options. Players MUST pay for sessions prior to attending.
Pay as you go: We do NOT allow pay as you go as a payment option. Only players on fill in/waiting lists can pay as they attend or pick up late session cancels. If signing up for multiple sessions or programs in advance, all of those programs must be paid for in advance. If financial restrictions limit your ability to pay in full up front, please contact Mark Zarbo Hockey and mutually agreed upon payment plan can be setup.
Note, whether you attend or not you are financially responsible for all programs signed up for. When you sign up you are reserving a spot(s) in that program and it is expected that your player is attending. Any programs signed up for that are not attended and not paid for will be held against and added into future sign up balances. We will not give away any spots reserved unless proper written cancellation is received. See cancellation policy below for details.

If a session is ever cancelled by Mark Zarbo Hockey, all players in that session will be contacted directly as well as the cancellation posted on social media.

A player missing a schedule session due to weather would not constitute a refund or credit unless it adheres to the cancellation policy above.
