Policies and Procedures

Goal:    To offer tennis instruction to juniors of all ages and abilities in a fun and educational environment.

Group size:   The student-to-instructor ratio varies depending on the number of players in the academy.  The goal is to limit the ratio to 6 or less students per instructor.

Ages:    Juniors may be from four years of age through high school age.

Cost:    Group lessons are billed @ $13/hr for registered juniors.  Group lessons are billed @ $15/hr for those that attend on a walk-on basis.

Billing:    The cost of the session is expected in advance, unless charged to your Genesis  charge acct.  If you do not pay in advance nor have a Genesis account, the cost will be transferred to your Genesis membership.

Registration:   Registration is required before the junior’s first attendance to the current session.  Registration is necessary to keep the proper student-to-pro ratio.

Make-ups: Make-up arrangements must be made with Jack Oxler and are available with notice of the student’s absence.  Make-ups must be done in the session in which they are missed; they may NOT carry over to the next session. No shows are not guaranteed make-up lessons.
