We do not offer trial classes for any group, private, semi-private or camp classes.
We do, however, have a specific refund policy, which provides a similar option. You can enroll for the session, and if for some reason your child does not take to the class, you have until the 2nd class to withdraw and receive a full prorated refund or credit.
Our policy is structured as young children in a new environment, often take a couple of classes to get used to the sport, the other children, the coach and the surroundings.For example: If your child’s 2nd class is on Monday, you must notify us up until the start of the 2nd class (not after the 2nd class has begun on Monday), if you no longer want your child to continue. You will then receive a prorated refund or credit, only paying for the two classes your child attended. The prorated refund will be sent via email and deducted from the credit card the registration was placed under.

Group Classes
At ProsToYou Tennis, we can’t control the weather—but we can make sure you never miss out!
If a class is canceled, participants will have the option to make up the session at their home club or another local partner club.
Make-up requests must be used within the same season in which the participant is registered. These make-ups may be used for any reason, including weather-related or personal absences.
We’ll make every reasonable effort to provide advance notice of cancellations via the email address provided at registration. Notices may be sent up to 30 minutes before the scheduled class start time.
Occasionally, a courtside decision may be made if rain begins at the start or during class. For example, if it starts raining at 7:00 p.m. (the class start time), the cancellation will occur on the spot.
Please check your email daily for inclement weather updates to ensure our messages don’t end up in your spam folder.

It is at the discretion of ProsToYou Tennis whether a class is held or canceled. This decision may be based on weather forecasts as well as current conditions.
Classes will be canceled if poor weather continues two hours before the start time.
Example: If class begins at 3:00 p.m. and it’s still raining at 1:00 p.m., we will cancel and notify participants. However, if the rain stops by 12:00 p.m. and conditions improve, class will proceed as scheduled and no notice will be sent.
If a class is canceled due to weather, your make-up credit will apply to that session and must be used during the same season.
