SCHEDULING + SESSION REQUESTS:

Outlined below are the steps to reserve coaching sessions with FGS Coaching.  Key factors that add to the complexity of scheduling: limited access to public tracks/turf fields, changing weather forecasts, and high seasonal demand for FGS Coaching services.  Our #1 goal is to get your sessions booked ASAP!

*** By moving forward with your pak/session you agree to participate within the guidelines outlined in this message. ***

_________________________________

COACH AVAILABILITY:
Monday - Tuesday:          N/A           Replies to messages may be delayed til M/TU.
Wednesday – Sunday:    10A–6P    Unless stadium lights are available.

HOW TO REQUEST A SESSION:
Just reply to the “Coach Frank’s Availability” message sent to you each MONDAY.  
                
*** TEXTING your request is the best method. ***

This availability message outlines the POSSIBLE days and sites for the upcoming week your coach can meet. (Please read the ENTIRE message each week-- it may include changes/opportunities that impact your training success.  This message may be delayed if School Admins are slow to confirm track availability for the week.)

SESSIONS: (Request – Book/Confirm.)
Sessions are generally reserved "FIRST REQUESTED / FIRST RESERVED” and based on track availability and client demand for that day. (See below.) Your session is officially booked when you receive a “CONFIRMATION” message w/ session logistics from Coach Frank. 

So the sooner you request a session-- and the quicker you reply to follow-up scheduling inquiries from your coach-- the more likely you’ll get your preferred time/day/site.  (We are typically 100% booked by Monday evening, if not sooner, for SA/SU slots during peak seasons.) 

INCLUDE IN YOUR REQUEST:
Preferred training TIME, DAY, and SITE-- from the options outlined in the Coaching Availability Message. 

>>> If your availability is flexible-- pls. provide your addtl. time, day, location options. <<<

CURRENT WEEK ONLY:
Sessions can only be requested for the CURRENT week, W-SU. We must work within track/turf availability that isn’t finalized until M-TU (week of) by school admins.

CONFIRMATION:
- Wednesday Sessions: confirmed on TUESDAY.
- Thursday - Sunday Sessions: confirmed on WEDNESDAY.

FINAL COACHING SITE(s):
Based on which site the majority of clients requested for that day-- or are clustered geographically.   (I’m not able to travel between locations on high demand days.)

MISC:
The FGSC athlete roster is capped; typically with a Wait List.  So to ensure active FGS Coaching team members have equal/fair access to limited weekly sessions slots, and athletes have more sustainable skills development, we all accept the following:

- EXPIRATION: Sessions expire 90-DAYS after purchase.
- CANCELLATION: 24-HOUR advance notice is required or session is counted.
- SESSION PREP: Coach uses 5-mins. at the end of each session to update session notes.
- REVIEWS: Due to the “process” nature of run coaching, and for a fair evaluation, reviews cannot be submitted for any sessions/paks which are expired/cancelled/unused or refunded.

WEATHER:
We train in the rain-- it’s Seattle. ;)  However, we do not train in HEAVY rain showers; if there is snow/ice (on the track/turf), lightning/thunder, or extreme heat/smoke.

______________________________

PEAK SEASONS: (spring/fall)
High demand for FGS Coaching services, school teams restricting access to free/public facilities, and decreasing daylight hours can limit our ability to provide coaching sessions for those who want to meet on a weekly basis.  We may have to meet every-OTHER-week so all FGS Coaching athletes have fair access to services. You may be waitlisted depending on demand for the day/time you requested-- and your place in the order session requests were received.

*** Wait listers have priority the NEXT week-- if we can't accommodate your initial (or revised) request this week. ***
