We will not refund any amount for a reservation that you fail to attend (“no show”) or fail to reschedule or postpone, at least 24 hours in advance.  

SWING MEMBERSHIP.  All Swing membership fees are non refundable, unless the Membership is cancelled during the first thirty (30) days of the Membership term.  The term of a Membership shall commence on the date it is purchased and continue until midnight on the day before the purchase date 12 month anniversary.   Swing may change the Membership fee at any time, but changes will apply only to new and renewal Memberships.  If a member cancels his/her membership, and wishes to re-instate the membership within 12 months that member will be subject to a re-instatement fee of $150.  Swing Memberships are non transferrable and non deferrable.  

MEMBER INFORMATION.  We expect Swing Members to submit and maintain accurate and current user information in connection with their Memberships. Such information includes name, address, email address, contact phone number and payment profile.  Members can change their account information by logging in to Court Reserve and updating their account information. 

OPEN PLAY PROGRAMS.  Open Play programs are 2-hour court skill specific reservations provided for all players, including members and visitors.  It is a Swing Membership benefit that participation in Open Play programs is included in Membership fee, however Open Play programs are not exclusive to Swing Members.   In an effort to provide access to Open Play Programs to all Swing players, no individual may be registered in more than one Open Play session at any given time.  Players who make Open Play program reservations, and fail to attend (“no show”) or fail to reschedule or postpone, with at least 24 hour notice will forfeit their Open Play program reservation privilege for a period of ten (10) calendar days.

SKILL ASSESSMENTS.   Swing seeks to maintain an accurate skill level participation in all of its programs.  Before you register for a program or join a ladder/league, take a few minutes to rate yourself using the self-assessment guidelines found on the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association website at https://iptpa.com/iptpa-rating-skills-assessment.  Find the level that best describes your general level of ability during a match (not in practice). Remember that your results during match play will improve over time, so come back to do a self-rating periodically.  For Swing Academy programs Levels 3.5 and above, players are required to complete a Player Assessment with a Swing Academy coach.  Player Assessments at this level are provided free of charge at Swing Courts and take approximately 10 minutes to complete. 

HEALTH & SAFETY. The health and safety of our members and visitors is our highest priority. While our policies are designed to help protect you, Swing cannot remove all risk or otherwise guarantee or promise that you will not sustain any injuries or damages from viruses, infectious diseases, or other health hazards associated with your use of Swing’s premises, facilities, equipment, services, activities, or products ("Use of Club Pickleball Premises and Services”).
