MAKE-UP LESSONS
Toptenn Tennis is dedicated to being as flexible as possible with make-up options so that everyone receives their full quota of tennis.
Familiarise yourself with our make-up policies below.
Toptenn students are eligible for up to 5 make-up lessons each term. These can be triggered through lessons being cancelled by Toptenn (washout/heatout, coach illness/event etc.) or through notifying absence with sufficient notice. Make-up lessons can be booked at any point throughout the same term as the missed lesson in any class with the same class standard.
NOTIFYING YOUR ABSENCE
To claim a make-up lesson, Toptenn must be notified of your absence through the Toptenn Customer Portal App with at least 2hrs notice prior to the start of your lesson
Private lessons may also be rescheduled/made up if 8 hours notice is provided through the Customer Portal
If sufficient notice is not provided, a make-up lesson will not be made available.
If notice is provided by email or text and not through the Customer Portal App, a make up lesson will not be provided.
