Tennis Anyone - Social Tennis
Playing at the Wrong Level
The centre reserves the right to advise players of their appropriate level/standard which overrides a player's self-assessment. On rare occasions players can grade themselves incorrectly - usually too high - and a coach or staff member will advise them to which level class or social tennis group they can participate in.
If a staff member advises you that your level is not appropriate for a particular Class/Social Group we ask players not to take offence and dispute the assessment. The centre expects Members/Players to follow and respect the advice of the coach/staff in an appropriate way.
Once players have been advised not to participate at a certain level, they cannot book into that class or group until such a time as they reach that level through coaching and regular practice - the staff will advise when a player is ready to move up.
Players who continue to re-book into levels where they have been advised otherwise will be refused entry into that level.
Centre players may request a grading session with a centre coach or the Director to verify their level if they feel it is too low.
