Can I make up a lesson?
Yes, make-up lessons may be arranged provided at least 24 hours’ notice has been given prior to the scheduled lesson time.
Please note that no-shows or last-minute cancellations within 24 hours may forfeit the lesson and any make-up privileges. If a lesson is cancelled by the club due to wet weather, extreme heat or unsafe court conditions, we will work with you to arrange a suitable make-up session where possible.

What happens in the event of lightning or high temperatures?
Player safety is always our top priority. If the temperature reaches 40°C or above, or if conditions are considered unsafe due to extreme heat, classes and on-court activities may be cancelled or postponed, and where possible a make-up lesson or alternative session can be arranged.
In the event of lightning or storms in close proximity to the courts, all on-court activities will cease immediately and players will be moved to a safe area until conditions improve. If the session cannot continue, we will work with you on suitable make-up options.
