Inclement Weather:
Rain:
Should the courts be unusable due to wet weather the coach will declare a ‘wash out’ and will endeavour to notify students as soon as possible. Coaches will have access to wet weather tennis balls and wet weather lesson plans to accomodate for slightly wet courts. Please note unless you hear from Sandhurst Tennis that the lesson has been ‘washed-out’ please assume that your lesson is going ahead as scheduled.
Heat:
When the temperature reaches 35 degrees and over at the Club and/or the Wet-bulb index reaches 28° or higher, all coaching sessions may be suspended until the temperature drops. Please be aware the temperature will be taken at the venue and your safety is our primary concern.
Thunderstorm:
If there is thunderstorm activity within 30km of the area Sandhurst Tennis will immediately postpone/cancel the lesson. Lessons will not resume until it is deemed safe to do so.
Squad / Group Lessons:
Any squad lessons cancelled due to 'Inclement Weather' can be made up by booking into a make-up class on another day.
Privates:
Private Lessons and Private Groups will be made up on an alternative day in consultation with your coach (eg. weekend or school holidays).
If a Private is cancelled because of inclement weather during the lesson - only the time for the part of the lesson cancelled will be eligible for a make-up.
Make-up Lesson Policy:
Squad / Group Lessons:
If are not able to attend a lesson for any reason please let us know as soon as possible and we may be able to place you in an alternate 'make-up' class.
If you are absent from your class and you do not give Sandhurst Tennis sufficient notice of your absence (>24 hours) you <b>will not</b> be offered a make-up lesson.
Lessons cancelled by Sandhurst Tennis (eg. Inclement Weather, staff illness etc.) will be offered to book into a make-up lesson on another day (within 90 days of the date of your missed lesson).
Missed lessons due to factors outside of our control do not warrant a make up lesson or reduced term fee (eg. appointment, travel and school camps). However, if the reason for a missed lesson is due to illness or injury and you provide us with sufficient notice, with a medical certificate we will make arrangements for the student to be placed in another lesson for a make-up.
Private, Semi-Private & Private Group Lessons ("Privates"):
Privates cancelled by Sandhurst Tennis (eg. Inclement Weather, staff illness etc.) will be offered a make-up lesson at a time to be arranged between you and your coach.
Missed Privates due to factors outside of our control DO NOT warrant a make up lesson or reduced term fee (eg. appointment, illness, injury, travel, etc.). Privates have fixed costs regardless of how many students attend the session.
