Upon sign-up, your child will be considered a regular participant and will be billed accordingly at a class by class rate. Billing occurs on the day the class meets. Charges will be automatically billed to the member’s account. Members are financially responsible for each class that the child is signed up for, even if they are unable to attend. In case of a rain out, you will not be charged. Tuition may only be pro-rated upon entrance of the junior program, not upon withdrawal.
Because of the nature of the class, we are unable to provide refunds for missed classes. However, if your child must miss a class for any reason, we are happy to provide a make-up opportunity. A child can attend any class in their age group Monday-Thursday as a make-up class; however, to ensure that class sizes are manageable, please contact Diego Ujcic at dujcic@thebriarclub.com to schedule a make-up class in advance.
Parents/Guardians must remain on campus for the duration of the lesson. Tennis Pros and Briar Club Staff do not provide aftercare. Parents/Guardians are responsible for the transfer of their children between lessons and other Briar Club programs.
