I am attending a clinic. What happens if it’s raining, or forecast to rain?Outdoor hardcourts can handle only a small amount of rain before becoming unsafe to play on. As a result, the weather may force cancellations. Please monitor your email for updates on the day of your program. We aim to decide whether to cancel no later than 90 minutes before the class. Some clinics have extra dates already scheduled in the event of cancelled lessons. If a lesson cannot be rescheduled, it will be reimbursed.
