For programs it is important that your

a hat, towel and sun block for the hot and sticky days
that they will be on the courts with the pro. For the
camps they will need to bring some snacks that they can
have during the breaks. It is also important that they
are wearing the proper non-marking shoes suited for tennis
along with socks. Sandals, slip-on, flip flops is not
allowed on the courts. Tennis balls with any other tennis
equipment that will be needed for the lessons will be
supplied by the pro. If your son/daughter does not have
a racquet or is bringing an adult racquet for the first
class then feel free to ask or contact the pro regarding
any questions you may have for the proper racquet that
would suit your child(s) lesson or for yourself.

is the rain policy for classes, lessons or camps?
If in the event it should rain the pro
will contact you as early as possible to cancel the class
and have a make-up class rescheduled at a later time and
date towards the end of the sessions. Due to weekly half-day
tennis camps there are no possible make-up classes. Should
it rain but clear up then most likely the class will run
but again the pro will make the final decision to be sure
that the court is safe to run the classes.
What
if I need to cancel and pull my kids out from the program,
are there refunds?
If in the event you need to cancel your
registration please be sure notify Top Spin no later than
1 week prior to the first day of class for a full refund.
Any
last minute cancellations less than 1 week prior to start
of programs will only receive a 50% refund.
