Terms & Conditions

Courses, Camps, Weekly Drills and Squads

• For courses, priority booking may be offered to players already registered onto programmes that are frequently oversubscribed – otherwise bookings are made on a first come basis.
• Weekly Drills bookings are made strictly on a first come basis. If a player fails to arrive for a pre-booked weekly drills session, we reserve the right to re-sell their place after 15 minutes of the session starting.
• Parental consent information is required for all junior programmes.
• Camps places are booked on a first come basis.
• Squad places are by coach invite only.
• All player registrations and payments must be made online.
• All children booked onto junior courses and camps are fully supervised, but we cannot supervise children using the courts at other times.
• All children booked onto junior courses and camps must bring appropriate clothing for the weather.
• Children are not permitted to leave the court without permission from the coach.
• Parental permission for children to be released early from a session must be given in writing. If written permission is not received and contact cannot be made with a parent/guardian, we will supervise the child until they are picked up.
• We reserve the right to charge for supervision after the session finishes at the rate of £5.00 for every 30 minutes.
• We reserve the right to refuse entry onto a group coaching session if the player is not of the required age or ability. In such circumstances we will advise you about joining a more appropriate session.
• We will not accept player ‘replacements’ for your booking.
• In exceptional circumstances, and where capacity allows it, our staff may authorise a participant to move their booking to another term. An administration fee of £10.00 per transaction will apply.
• We do not operate waiting lists. Please continue to revisit our website if the maximum number of attendees has been reached, as we will extend capacity when we can, and there may be player cancellations nearer to the start date.
• Please refer to our Cancellation Policy if you have any other questions.
• A missed session, which must be agreed in advance with the lead coach, may only be replaced with another session at our sole discretion. This does not apply to Weekly Drill sessions. A credit will not be issued unless due to exceptional circumstances.

• Private coaching sessions are arranged directly with independent coaches, approved by us.
• These coaches are responsible for managing and delivering individual and small group tennis or padel coaching sessions.
• Payments must be made in full, in advance and directly to your coach.
• Credit cannot be used to pay for a private coaching session.
• Private lessons are for one player; additional players are charged at £5 per person (max 3 players).
• Coaching for groups of 4 players or more are catered for by our sports programme.
• Coaches are responsible for paying the associated court booking fee and are subject to the same standard cancellation and refund policy conditions as other customers.
• Any non-contracted coach found to be coaching their clients at our venues will be asked to vacate the courts immediately. No refunds will be given to individuals involved.

Football pitches and netball courts

• Our facilities are available for hire to schools, sports clubs, sports associations or organisations representing affiliated clubs or constituent associations, such as a local league. We will work with you and agree block booking duration to suit your needs where possible.
• Individual teams can also arrange their games at the same time and on the same day of the week, up to 4 weeks in advance. Please contact your local sports venue to make your booking.
• We will endeavour to give existing, regular, private block bookers first refusal if a third party team wants to book their regular slot.
• All Block Bookings are subject to change at the sole discretion of our senior management, and may require senior management authorisation prior to being confirmed.
• A Block Booking must consist of a minimum 4 sessions. The interval between each session must be one day or more, but less than 14 days. There are no exceptions to the maximum 14-day rule. The duration of the sessions can be varied.
• Full payment for all courts and pitch bookings must be made in advance, before the first session takes place.
• For bookings during School hours the coaches must be provided by school sports staff. If you are using coaching provided by a third party or commercial organisation, either during school-time or after school, our standard rates apply.
  
• All coaches and instructors must be approved in advance and both their certification and current DBS certificate must be provided to us (a copy of which will be retained for our files).
• No refunds are available if a session does not take place. Please see our Cancellations and Refunds Policy for more details.

• The facilities are hired out to a school, club, association, or local league
• The person making the booking has exclusive use of the facilities being rented

We reserve the right to issue additional invoices if the number of sessions exceeds that which are contracted. Payment is required within 14 days of receipt of invoice.
