SEASONAL CONTRACT TIME
Seasonal Time fees are based on current court time rates: Member: $64.00/Hour
The indoor season runs from October 3 through May 17, 2023 for 32 weeks. Seasonal Court Time is sold for the entire 32-week season only. Only Hall of Fame Tennis Club members in good standing may participate. Guests and non-member substitutes are strictly limited to three (3) visits per season and pay a guest fee of $20.
For 2024-25, we are offering to include professional instruction (on a 4:1 or 3:1 basis) for the seasonal court contracts. Members can, in effect, reserve “their own” pro staff member each week for the duration of the indoor season. There will be a premium to cover the time for our pro staff members, but members will be assured of consistently good instructional and play sessions each week.
Seasonal Contracts are based on and charged for the total amount of times within the 32-week season that do not conflict with announced club holiday closings (Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and others TBD).
A non-refundable $300 deposit is required by May 1st to reserve a recurring court reservation. 50% of the payment is due prior to August 15, 2024, and the balance (minus the $300 deposit) is due by January 15, 2025. All applications must indicate the name, phone number(s), address, and the proportionate share of the Seasonal Court Time fee of each participant.
