• Withdrawals within 13 days of the first day of class: 100% of fee charge
All withdrawal requests subject to a penalty fee must be submitted in writing. The date used for the purpose of assessing the amount of fee charged is the date the club receives written notification.

WAITLIST POLICY

Members are notified via email if a spot has opened, and they are enrolled. Updates to registration status also may be viewed online at themac.com.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
In an effort to eliminate confusion for members about the availability of club services and facilities when severe weather is forecasted, the general manager shall determine club hours and service based on availability of staff and severity of weather as reported by the National Weather Service.
Club closure, delayed opening, or opening with limited services is announced to members at least four hours in advance, and by 9 p.m. for the following day. Weather alerts are posted on themac.com homepage and at all entrances as soon as they are announced.
When Portland Public Schools announces closure, early dismissal, or delayed opening due to weather, MAC Child Care, Playschool, and youth classes are canceled or delayed. Coaches determine if specific sport team practices are canceled and use TeamSnap or Team Unify to notify the teams directly.

The Introduction to Strength and Conditioning series are open to MAC Junior members ages 11-13 years old (sixth-eighth graders).

Participants will work on developing general fitness by increasing basic strength, endurance, and speed, as well as movement skills such as hopping, skipping, jumping and bounding.
HIGH SCHOOL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING (AGES 14-18)
High School Strength & Conditioning series are open to Junior members ages 14-18 who are interested in building their strength and fitness by learning how to safely and effectively execute basic barbell lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press), as well as improving their speed and acceleration for athletic performance. The primary focus of this training is to review and practice four basic strength movement patterns — squat, hinge, push, and pull — therefore increasing each participant’s basic physical literacy and “workout IQ.” Junior members can expect to gain confidence, knowledge, strength, and quickness in the weight room and on the field/court, setting them up for success as lifelong athletes and/or fitness enthusiasts.
ADULT STRENGTH & CONDITIONING (AGES 18+)
Both the Beginner and Intermediate Adult Strength & Conditioning series are open to adults (18+) and focus on the big three lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press). This series gives members who usually take group exercise classes more exercise variety and another option for training. The focus is learning and honing the barbell lifts, but also utilizing the weight room to give members an introduction to a new space, equipment and exercises that they may not know. Adult members are exposed to exercises designed to improve strength and power and reduce the likelihood of injuries.
MASTERS STRENGTH & CONDITIONING (AGES 55+)
The Master’s Strength & Conditioning series is for any individual 55 years and older who is just starting their fitness journey or any masters athlete who considers themselves a fitness enthusiast. Members from all sports and backgrounds are invited to join this series designed to improve strength, balance, stability, and coordination while introducing basic barbell, kettlebell, and dumbbell exercises.

PLEASE READ: Competition for MAC Tennis classes is at an all-time high. For the benefit of all classes and to help ensure players are at a suitable level for each class, registration is limited to a player’s NTRP rating. Players with no NTRP rating are not eligible for 3.5 or higher-level classes. To acquire an NTRP rating, please visit the USTA League page at tennislink.usta.com/leagues/common/default.aspx. Registering out of level causes a player to be withdrawn from the class without notice. Please note, this policy is strictly followed. Below-level players only get into higher-level classes if there are no at-level players waiting and with a coach’s permission. NTRP 2.0: Player is a beginner to the game of tennis. Grip and stroke production knowledge is very limited, as are basic strategies for competition.
NTRP 2.5: Player has taken some lessons but needs on-court experience and has obvious stroke weakness but is developing in singles and doubles.
NTRP 3.0: Player can place shots with moderate success and sustain a rally at a slow pace but lacks control when trying for power.
NTRP 3.5: Player has achieved stroke dependability and direction on shots within reach, including forehand and backhand volleys, but still lacks depth and variety, seldom double faults, and occasionally forces errors on the serve. All tennis instructors are subject to change without notice. Refunds are not issued if an instructor change occurs.
