Fixed Block of 12 Group Lessons Program
Offers Significant Discounts for Committed Players
|
|
| Players who are committed to taking multiple group lessons to develop their skills can now schedule a Fixed Block of 12 Group Lessons and enjoy significant savings!
This program allows students to select 12 specific fixed lesson dates/times they prefer, from the entire set of those available on our calendar, at the time of enrollment. Players do not have to stick to the same days and times each week, or even to the same coaches — instead, they may select from all days and times on which we have lessons within their skill level (Beginner, Intermediate, or Intermediate-Advanced) that still have available slots. Although rescheduling cannot be accommodated after enrollment selections are made, we can allow each individual student to build a customized schedule for their block of group lessons, to meet his or her known needs at the time of enrollment.
In return for this advance commitment to a fixed set of 12 specific lesson dates, the Fixed Block of 12 Group Lesson program offers attractive savings (with built-in membership discounts):
- Non-members or members with a month-to-month membership will enjoy a 20% discount on the cost per group lesson
- Basic members with a pre-paid 3-month or longer membership term will enjoy a 25% discount on the cost per group lesson
- Premium members will enjoy a 30% discount on the cost per group lesson
This program offers a great way to take advantage of the expanded schedule of group lessons described below! |
