Booking Private Lessons & Priority Booking/Consistent Schedule
BOOKING PRIVATE LESSONS
Nothing shall be booked for the next month before the 15th of the current month. Any booked private lesson or court rental must be paid for at the time of booking. UNPAID = UNBOOKED
Consistent clients and clients that would like to become consistent will have the ability to schedule a private or court rental between the 15th and the 25th of the current month.
Clients who do not intend to become consistent will be allowed to book for the next month starting on the 26th of the current month.
To be recognized as a consistent client, you are required to schedule the same time, same court, and same day of the week for the entire upcoming month.
Consistent clients reserve the right to schedule out their recurrent reservations for the next month or to choose to forfeit their rescheduling priority starting from the 15th through the 25th of each current month. After that date, their reservation time slot will become available to everyone. A client will retain their booking priority for the next month even if they’ve had to cancel a service(s) within a current month, provided it was originally scheduled on a consistent basis.
Private lessons booked recurrently for the month ahead will include a $5 early bird discount on each lesson.

Prime time is defined as weekdays from 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM (and 9am-1:30pm at Bellevue) and weekends from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. See “New Rental Pricing System” chart. Recurrent rentals on Pickleball-dedicated courts 1 & 2 at Bellevue and 9 & 10 in Redmond have varying prime time hours. See rental chart for more details.

Private Lesson Coach Replacement Policy
In the event that a scheduled coach becomes unavailable for a private lesson, the club will make every effort to find a substitute coach. Our goal is to secure a substitute coach with expertise and suitability comparable to the client's requirements. However, should the client choose to cancel the lesson due to a preference against the replacement coach, the client will be responsible for the applicable cancellation fees as outlined in our standard cancellation policy.
