1) FEE STRUCTURE

Our tennis fee structure can be split into two (2) easy to understand and separate categories:

Coaching Fees (payable on a per term basis - see the costs table below)* 

This is for tennis lessons with Top Tennis Sunbury. A tennis term is the same length as a school term and four (4) school terms make up one tennis year.  All invoices will be sent out by email or text and fees must be paid within two (2) weeks of receiving the invoice - direct debit and cash are the accepted methods of payment.

Membership Fees (payable on a yearly basis & only if you wish to join or need to join based upon signing up for competition) 

a) These fees are paid directly to the Tennis Club per year and this fee allows you to use the club's facilities year-round during daylight hours, for tennis practice, team training, social hitting and then to be eligible for competition that the club's host or enter.

b) If you are joining after the designated time frame then a pro rata fee is applicable. A pro rata fee simply means (for example) if there are 7 months left in the club's financial year then you only pay for the 7 months that are remaining.

c) Each individual tennis club has their own fee structure, membership categories and conditions, please speak to the coaches directly and we can guide you to the correct category or put you in touch with the membership secretary of the desired club.

3) FAQ'S

Q. When should I start lessons ?

Our coaching programs are continuous. We have children aged as young as 5 or equivalent to Prep age that start into our programs.  Lessons are structured to allow students to commence learning from any point within the year. Our focus is to ensure each student is grouped with players of a similar age and skill level.  We use the Tennis Australia endorsed Hot Shots program to teach and grade students.

Q. What should I bring along to lesson ?

 Comfortable enclosed sports shoes, a hat, water bottle and racquet.  If you do not have a racquet, our coaches will be able to lend you one temporarily. We also offer junior players a free tennis racquet for all new first term enrolments.

Q. How are the groups determined ?

After initially being enrolled in a class suitable for their age and skill level, students will be assessed by their coach and may be moved to a group that is more appropriate to their standard.

Q. What is the class size ratio ?

The tennis class sizes vary depending on the coaching program. It is important for our players to have a similar skill level and age across all of the players within a group.

Q. Can parents watch lessons ?

 Yes, parents are encouraged to watch, however we ask that parents do not enter the court playing area unless requested by the coach or to assist with picking up balls for a private or group lessons.

4) MISSED LESSONS / CANCELLATION POLICY

Missed Lessons will be made up if Top Tennis cancels the lessons due to heat, wet weather or unplayable court conditiions. You do not need to call or message the coaching team, we will contact you as soon as we make a call. The coaches will be at the courts and make the call, we try to assess the conditions at the time, be that in extreme heat or wet conditions. We (the coaches and Top Tennis) do not like to cancel any lessons and will only cancel a lesson if we absolutely have to. Please make every effort to attend every lesson that you can, this creates consistency!

5) WET WEATHER / HEAT POLICY

Wet Weather Policy

We will do everything possible to run our programs as scheduled, however on occasion weather may force us to cancel.  Decisions to cancel lessons will generally not be made until immediately prior to the scheduled lesson commencement time. Always turn up if we have not contacted you as the coaches are always at the courts and will make the call as to whether the lesson proceeds or if cancelled.

Heat Out Policy

a) On extremely hot days the coaches at each venue may completely cancel your tennis lesson for the whole day or a particular sessions time.

b) On coaching days , coaches will cease lessons, including any unfinished sessions, if a tempreature of 35 degrees has been reached. This has been adopted by Tennis Australia's heat policv.
