Regular and Medical Leave of Absence (Freeze)

In order for a leave of absence pursuant to Article IV of the Membership Agreement to be accepted, written notification must be given to the billing office by the 25th of the current month for a freeze to be in effect for the following month. Your request may be processed in person at the billing office or e-mailed to freeze@sportingclubbellevue.com. You may also mail your request to us via certified mail. No requests for a leave of absence will be accepted over the phone. There will be no dues charged during your absence, however, a nonrefundable, one-time processing fee of $25.00 will be charged for freezing your account. If there is a balance due at the time an account freeze is requested, it must be satisfied before the freeze can be processed. A member can only freeze their membership once within a 12-month period for a maximum of three consecutive months. The freeze will begin and end on the 1st of the specified month. When the leave of absence expires, the membership dues automatically reinstate at the full price on a month-to-month basis. During a leave of absence, the member cannot use the facility. For a medical leave of absence, a doctor’s note must be provided and the account can remain on freeze for a maximum of six months. The Sporting Club cannot back-date medical leaves, so please notify the billing office immediately at billing@sportingclubbellevue.com should medical reasons arise that prohibits your use of The Sporting Club. You may request to cancel during a freeze, but the account must be current and active in order to cancel. Once the account is active, the 30-day cancellation notice policy will apply. For questions regarding charges to your account please contact the billing office at freeze@sportingclubbellevue.com or 215-985-9876
