How to Pay

All payments are done through Court Reserve. You may pay for individual charges throughout the month on your online account or wait to pay the full month’s charges when you receive an emailed invoice on the first of the following month. You may also pay up at the desk if you prefer, but we encourage you to try online!


Attendance Policy

You may add or cancel a class online up to 24 hours before each registered class. Cancellations past 24 hours require a call to the desk to notify of the absence, but the charge will remain. Additions to classes past 24 hours also require a call to the front desk and must be approved by a pro. Late additions are charged an additional $5 fee. Please do not show up to a class without signing up. Our staffing for each class is prepared in advance based on the registration numbers. Please be mindful and make sure to register for class before showing up at the club. Thank you!

Make-ups

Those who miss a class past the 24-hour deadline may make that class up by attending the same category of class on a different day of the week (if applicable). The make-up must be done in the same session as the missed class. Make-up classes cannot be scheduled online — you must call the front desk to ask.

If available, the club may hold a one-time make-up day for all Jr Ex groups, based on club schedule and court availability. Members would be notified of a date/time.
