TENNIS & PICKLEBALL CLINICS AT ERC

Looking for One-on-One Coaching?

Whether you’re a beginner looking to improve fundamentals or an advanced player fine-tuning your technique, private lessons are the best way to accelerate progress. We have incredible pros at Ellington Racquet Club ready to help you improve your tennis & pickleball game.

The following policies are in place to maintain safety and ensure the enjoyment of our members.  We appreciate the full cooperation of you, your family and your guests.

• Membership: Costs are listed in the club brochure.  Juniors are those age 3 through 18 years. This membership is a twelve-month agreement.
• Guests: Club members may bring the same guest up to 2 times with no guest fee for open time booking in either tennis or pickleball.  After the initial 2 visits, guests are subject to a guest fee of $10 for tennis and $5 for pickleball.
• Payments: Programs are billed as played. All major credit cards are accepted at the Club and on our secure website. Membership dues are deducted monthly through Electronic Funds Transfer.
• Tennis and Pickleball Attire: Shirts, bottoms and tennis/pickleball shoes must be worn while playing.  No sandals, flip-flops or running shoes are allowed for court play.
• Alcohol Consumption: At the urging of our insurance company, any alcohol consumption must be merely social and in moderation.  Individuals must be mindful of their personal consumption.  Bring ONLY non-alcoholic beverages in plastic containers on to the courts.
• Timeliness:  Please arrive in good time for your tennis/pickleball programs – ready to play at your appointed start time.  The other players (and pros in the case of instructional programs) count on you for full enjoyment of the allotted time and program.  Please leave your court on time to allow for the next group of players.
• Inclement Weather: If we have to close the Club or suspend programs due to inclement weather, we will post the information on our social media sites and website.  We do not automatically follow the Ellington school closings, so please check.
• No Show/Late Cancellation Fees for Private/Semi-Private Lessons: For the 1^st time cancellation/no show, the club will send a reminder email with our cancellation policy. For the 2^nd time, you will be responsible for ½ the price of the lesson. For the 3^rd time and more, you will be responsible for the full cost of the lesson.
• Junior Instructional Policy: Junior programs require payment in full upon registration.  There are no guaranteed make-ups for missed lessons, but you may check with the Front Desk staff to see if similar groups may have availability for a make-up. Maximum of 2 make-up classes may be allowed. Non-members will pay a higher rate for lessons. Any pre-paid program that is missed because of club closure will result in a club credit being issued to the junior’s ERC account.
• Injury Policy/Membership: In case of an injury that directly impacts your ability to participate, you MAY be excused, from the date you notify the Club, of financial responsibility and attendance.  Please email Tracy (tracy@ellingtonracquetclub.com) a doctor’s note to be reviewed and considered to suspend your membership due to a health issue or injury.  We do not suspend memberships for periods shorter than one month.
• Injury Policy/Lessons: Upon review of a doctor’s note, credit MAY be given for up to 3-weeks of absences for one injury per session.  A doctor’s note must be received within one week of injury.  Credit will not be given for injuries beyond 3-weeks unless the player is willing to give up their spot in the clinic.  If the spot is relinquished credit will be given to the end of the session. Any illnesses (including COVID-19) are not covered by the credit policy.
• Liability: Club is not responsible for any injuries sustained on its courts or any part of the property. A separate waiver must be signed and returned to the Club before participating in ERC programs.
• Membership Cancellation and Refund
• The member understands that membership is continuous and requires no annual renewal and that the membership is in effect for a minimum of twelve months.   If a member decides to cancel membership (after the initial twelve months), the person will provide the Club with written notice to cancel the membership two weeks prior to the renewal date.  In addition, the membership may automatically cancel after the initial 12-month period if payments are not up to date, or at the discretion of the Club.

We hope these policies are clear and appreciate everyone’s cooperation.
