- Booking on site. If kids decide to book a tennis option once they are in Ardingly, they may do so as long as there is space; i.e. we cannot guarantee a place unless booked and paid for in advance.
- We also provide a re-stringing and gripping service at extra cost paid locally. A typical re-string costs £25 and a re-grip costs £5.
- Bad Weather! The facilities in Ardingly allow for indoor tennis in the case of bad weather (as will Guildford from 2011). It is not always possible to make up individual lessons due to time constraints.
