FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • We’d love to have you! Please join our Heylo group to RSVP for upcoming events and meet other members.

  • Great question! We’ve implemented a few things:

    • We begin every run with introductions where players share their name, nicknames (if any), and pronouns.

    • We have a anonymous Google Feedback Form where players can share concerns or overall feedback on a run. We take all submissions very seriously and will action on them immediately.

    • We continuously conduct a vibe check with players during runs to ensure they’re feeling welcomed and having fun.

    We’re also always open to suggestions on what we can improve on, so feel free to contact us directly with any ideas.

  • We offer both free and paid events. Our basketball pickup may require a small fee to participate, but we also host free basketball clinics and social outings.

  • Members have a 48-hour window before a paid event to mark their status to "Not Going" on Heylo without being charged. After the 48-hour window, members are no longer eligible for a refund.

    • Members who no show OR change their RSVP to "Not Going" an hour or less before an event more than 3 times will be removed from the group.

    • Members who no show to a free Off the Dribble run or clinic will no longer be eligible to participate in such events.

    • Members who have not submitted payment by the start time of a paid event will be unable to participate until the payment has been received.
