AND OTHER "NEWS". |
| |
| Q. |
I have sent in a registration,
how will I know it's been confirmed? |
|
| A. |
Upon receipt of your registration we will process it,
send a confirmation letter attachment or notice of "wait list
status" through email, if email provided (preferred) or we will
send one through regular mail. Note: If you have not received
any kind of notification from us within 4 days after sending in your
registration, please call
617-661-PLAY! Otherwise, you will run the risk of getting closed out
of a class as we may not have received your information at all! |
| |
| Q. |
Can I reserve a spot in a class prior to sending
in my registration? |
|
| A. |
Sorry, no. Registration is on a first come, first
serve basis upon receipt of your registration form and payment.
|
| |
| Q. |
Can I be put on a wait list without sending
in any information? |
|
| A. |
Sorry, no. We must have a signed registration form
and payment in order to commit a candidate to a wait list spot.
|
| |
| Q. |
If I have already paid a registration fee
for a previous class do I still need to send one in with a new registration?
|
|
| A. |
Yes. The registration fee is not a one time
fee. It is a per person fee as well. Also,
as stated directly on the registration form, in order for us to
hold a spot in a class this non-refundable registration fee must
accompany all registrations -- failure to pay this fee will delay
processing of registrations and could jeopardize one's class placement. |
| Q. |
Can I send in registration for two separate
seasons for the same person at the same time and pay only one registration
fee? |
| A. |
Sorry, no. We must have two separate registration
forms for each season, accompanied by two separate registration
fees (per person). |
| |
|
| Q. |
Is there a discount if more than one family
member enrolls in a class or classes during the same session in your
program? |
| A. |
Sorry, no. We do not offer family discounts. |
| |
| Q. |
What is the likelihood of getting into a class
from the wait list? |
|
| A. |
There have been many instances where people enrolled
have had to withdraw prior to or right after the start of classes
or we have been able to secure additional instructors and court locations
enabling us to expand or create additional class offerings, thus,
creating additional spots. |
| |
| Q. |
What happens to my payment if I do not get
into a class? |
|
| A. |
We hold all checks up until the start of our class
offerings. If we have not been able to accommodate a registrant into
a class we will send back their check at that point. |
| |
| Q. |
What is your refund policy if I need to
withdraw from a class after I have already been confirmed or once
the class has already started? |
|
| A. |
Each session we clearly state our refund policy
on the season's flyer and in the confirmation letter - please refer
to those resources for timeframes and any refundable amounts. Registration
fees are non-refundable. Please note: Once a class has started
there is no credit or refund provided for withdrawal, for any reason,
except with submittal of a doctor's note for medical circumstances
requiring full withdrawal from the program. |
| |
| Q. |
Your kids programs are offered by age group
instead of by level - how does that work? |
|
| A. |
We are able to quickly assess the skill level of participants
in a class and in doing so we will break kids into appropriate groups
for drills and playing time, etc. Classes have always run successfully
in this way even if your child has never played tennis before. |
| |
| Q. |
What if I'm not sure whether there will be
a class or not because of questionable weather? |
|
| A. |
We always try to hold class
if we possibly can. On a day there has been rain or questionable
weather forecasts (or even perhaps if there has been lots of rain for days prior) call (617) 661-PLAY, 45 minutes prior to the start of
your clinic for a recorded message of notification of cancellations.
The cancellation line is only updated upon cancellations.
Please
note: Most classes are given as part of a two, three or four hour
block i.e. the 9am to noon block is 9-10am, 10-11am, 11-noon. If we have
to cancel a class within a block of classes then the teachers are
dismissed for the rest of the block and all the classes that follow
within that block will be cancelled as well.
|
| |
| Q. |
What if a class has been cancelled -- how
will it get made up? |
|
| A. |
Rain make up classes will not be on the schedule
due to the timing of the last class and/or the beginning of the
a new session. If there should be one or more cancelled classes
during the session a credit voucher will be issued in lieu of make
up classes, which can be used to reduce the cost of a future tennis
class program. This voucher will be sent to you in the form
of a letter and you must keep this original document to send in
with your registration form in order to apply any deductions.
These vouchers have no expiration date and can be used
by any immediate family member, in any of the tennis sessions, towards
the cost of enrollment in a full tennis session. They cannot
be used to take part in one or more classes in a class that one
is not officially enrolled in for a full session. |
| |
| Q. |
There are a few classes that have a per diem
payment option -- do I pay in advance for the number of classes I
plan to take or do I pay at the courts each time I go? |
|
| A. |
Per diem classes are pay as you go. You cannot sign
up for partial payments in advance. If you want to pay in
full for all of the classes listed you must do so in advance. |
| |
|
| Q. |
Do you offer private lessons? |
|
| A. |
Our program is a community based program focused
on providing quality group lessons as provided in our schedule of
classes. Our instructors work full time teaching adult and
kid classes during the morning, afternoon and evening hours, almost
every day of the week (including weekends). When they are
not running our classes then most of them are working at other jobs
as well. Therefore, we really have limited resources available
to provide private lesson services and most likely we will not be
able to meet this request. If we are ever able to arrange
this service it usually occurs after several weeks into any of our
sessions at which point we can determine if our instructors have
any flexibility in their schedules at all. |
