Make Up & Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session due to illness or school camp etc. you must notify us prior to your lesson in order to arrange a make-up lesson. Lessons will only be made up if your Gardens Tennis Manager is notified with sufficient time prior to the start of your lesson (preferred 24 hours prior). Notification of absence or arrangement of a make-up can be made directly with the Pro Shop via phone or email. Please be considerate that the late cancellation of sessions leads to inefficient time use for our team & therefore lost opportunities for others. This policy is to deter people from preventing those clients who are seeking a coaching session, missing an opportunity to see one of the coaches. All missed sessions will be made up during the term or in the school holiday period or a time approved by the Gardens Manager, at their discretion.Private lessons require a minimum of 3 hours notice for cancellations to avoid full charge of lesson. 

Wet Weather & Heat Policy Communications

Where possible Gardens Tennis staff will contact you via phone message or email to let you know if your lesson/s or other event will be cancelled due to wet weather or heat policy. If you do not get a call, text or email, please presume the lesson or event is going ahead as normal. Gardens Tennis have a policy for all coaches to avoid the use of mobile phones while on court coaching where possible, to ensure attention is directed to the current lesson being undertaken. If your coach does not answer their phone, they are more than likely on court coaching. When the temperature reaches 37 degrees or above at your tennis venue, all coaching sessions and other events will be suspended until the temperature drops. Please be aware the temperature will be taken at the individual venue and your safety is our primary concern.
