Please bring the following to class with you:

• WATER – Please bring at least one water bottle with you to class. It may not hurt to have an extra bottle (or two) once it gets warm out.
• Racket – please ask our instructors at your class if you have any questions about an appropriate racket, especially if you are about to buy a new one
• Good shoes and appropriate clothes – no street shoes or sandals please
• Optional: Towel, additional clothes (e.g., sweatshirt/jacket) for classes that might get chilly

We run all our lessons on some great outdoor courts, but this does make us dependent on weather. Should a class be cancelled for weather, we will provide you with class credits at the end of the session/season. On occasion we try to provide make-ups if time permits. Classes are cancelled for the following reasons:

• Wet Courts/Rain – Safety is our main concern here, even if it is not currently raining, if the courts are slippery it’s not worth the risk of injury
• Thunder/Lightning – We will postpone if we can, but we cannot play when it is thundering or lightning, even if there is no rain.
• HEAT – The courts are even hotter than the air, therefore, in the event of a HEAT ADVISORY or RED Alert, we will have to cancel classes. Our coaches use the national weather service and weather.com/ to determine the heat level. Regardless of whether we cancel or not, please use your best judgment on your participation. We want you to be safe and have a fun time, but please keep in mind your own tolerance to the heat.

When we cancel a class due to weather a coach will call you prior. They will call you on the number you provide them the first day of class, so please provide a number we can reach you at. Note, not all of our coaches have 703 or 571 numbers, so be aware they may call you from a different area code number. If it rains the first week, they will contact you on the number you registered. If a class is cancelled because of snow, we will send an email in the morning.

We issue household credits for cancelled classes after the entire session has concluded. Please allow a few weeks after the conclusion of your class for a credit. You will receive an automated email with the amount in your household account.
