Missed practices.In the event you are unable to make a class, we regret that makeup class or refunds will not be offered. Go further.Many LTR grads continue into the Leander Recreational (Rec) or Youth Recreational program to further develop their newly acquired skills. After Rec or bantam, Leander’s Competitive Club and Masters teams are also realistically in reach for those wishing a greater challenge and have both the ability and time to commit. |
