18. If any Participant is collected more than fifteen (15) minutes after the designated collection time following the session, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee for costs incurred by the Club as a result of the delayed collection.
19. Whilst the Player Development Programme maintains a link with the Tottenham Hotspur Academy (the "Academy"), you acknowledge that your child's participation in a Player Development Programme in no way guarantees an invitation to a trial for the Academy and that due to the number of Participants, we cannot guarantee individual feedback for your child.
20. We regularly review the FA's Guidance for Grassroots Football with regards to appropriate player groupings based on age, ability and maturation. This is always down to the discretion of our staff to ensure maximum benefit for all Participants.
