QHow do I know I'll love my coach?

QWhat happens if it rains?

If you can't play, you don't pay. If weather makes your court unplayable, contact your coach directly to reschedule.

Lesson credits are good for one year from your purchase date. We ask for 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
