before and after playing.

Cancellation Policy
If the weather forecast prior to the session is poor, a decision to cancel the lesson will
be made by the Head Coach as late as is reasonably possible. Whenever possible, customers
will be sent an email/text once a decision to cancel has been made. Clients may also contact
the Head Coach Mahmuda Jafarey for an update. Please bear in mind difficulties in trying to
predict the British weather. Our overall intention is for as many sessions as possible to go ahead.
If a session runs over half of the designated time and is cancelled due to weather conditions,
the session will be considered a full session and no refund be issued.
If a session is cancelled or interrupted due to bad weather conditions before half of the
session is completed, the Head Coach will offer an alternative session or a full refund.
In the unlikely event of insufficient numbers, we reserve the right to cancel courses in
advance of the start date. A full refund will then be given.
If the participant is absent from a session for a reason other than OnTheBallTennis cancelling
the session due to adverse weather, he/she is choosing to forfeit the time and there will be no refund.
Clients who cancel any coaching sessions less than 24 hours before start time will be liable
to pay for the session/lesson in full.
