Wet weather policy
All school group lessons at school venues go ahead regardless of rain.
During wet weather we move the lesson to an approved undercover area in the school. The lesson will be modified according to the facilities available.  Check with your coach to find out the location and procedure for your school.

Lunchtime lessons at Rainworth State School only, may be cancelled in the event of rain. Make-up lessons will be arranged for any lesson cancelled due to rain at Rainworth State School.

Private lessons at school venues and ALL lessons at The Gap Tennis Club, may be cancelled in the event of rain.  Where possible, the coach will call or text you approximately 30 minutes before the lesson starts to advise if lessons are cancelled due to the weather.  Make up lessons only (not credits or refunds) will be made available for rained out private lessons and lessons rained out at the The Gap Tennis Club. Please note yours or your child’s regular coach cannot be guaranteed for make-up lessons.

Do you give refunds or provide make-up lessons if I or my child is sick or away for a group, including shared privates, lesson?
No, all group, including shared private, classes have limited numbers and as such no refunds or make-up lessons can be provided for non-attendance in any group or shared private lessons. Unfortunately, this means whether you or your child is absent because of illness, school camp, a birthday party, holiday or you just forgot – No refunds or make-up lessons are possible.

Do you give refunds or provide make-up lessons if I or my child is sick or away for a private lesson?    
Private lessons only may be rescheduled (no credits or refunds) provided a minimum of 24 hours notice is given. If less than 24 hours notice is given, full lesson fee will apply.

Will the coach supervise my child before the lesson commences and/or after the lesson is finished?
No, Tennis For Kids coaches cannot be responsible for supervising children outside of lesson times. It is the responsibility of the parent or carer to ensure their child is supervised until the lesson starts and is picked up at lesson completion time. Tennis For Kids coaches cannot accept responsibility for your child before or after this time.

Are the tennis lessons conducted on school holidays, public holidays and pupil free days?
There are no lessons on school holidays or public holidays.  There are no lessons at all school venues on pupil free days.  Lessons at The Gap Tennis Club will proceed as normal on pupil free days.

What does my child have to bring?
Your child can wear their school uniform (or cool comfortable clothing) and a comfortable pair of sneakers/sandshoes. Please ensure you pack them a water bottle and tennis racquet. It is also now compulsory for all children to wear a hat (NO HAT = NO PLAY) and we strongly recommend the application of sunscreen prior to lessons.
