Guests: A member of White Oaks may bring the same guest up to 10 times per year. A guest of White Oaks must sign a waiver form prior to engaging in any activity at White Oaks. A guest is not permitted to participate in any club activity or program unless otherwise specified or at the discretion of the Tennis Director. All guests must be registered with the club desk (or online before playing). It is the member s responsibility to ascertain that his guest is eligible to play.

Club Closures The club is closed on the following days: Christmas Day December 25 SECTION #3: COURT RESERVATION & RULES OF PLAY Court Rules Tennis courts may be booked through the club front desk by telephone (905) x5210, at the club front desk in person, or via on- line booking through Game Time A court may be booked by members beginning at 7:00 am 5 days in advance by telephone, online or in person at the club desk. Names of all players and guests must be reported when booking a court. Prepaid Tennis Members will be allowed one pre- booked court per day. If you are in a league, your league booking will count as your pre- booked court for that day. If a member would like to play more than once in a day they can either walk- on the court (book up to 1 hour in advance) or by paying the appropriate court fee. A member who takes a lesson or is involved in a clinic will still have their pre- booked court allowance for that day (instruction does not constitute pre- booked court allowance). Members will have unlimited walk- on access, one hour at a time, when the courts are empty and available. Walk on courts may be booked no earlier than one hour before actual court time requested. Courts booked for singles games must have two names assigned and are limited to one hour. Courts booked for doubles games require four names assigned and are limited to one and a half hours. League Administration fees will apply to any organized tennis league at White Oaks. A member may book only one court per phone call (either prime time or non- prime time) at a time, with all the names (2 for singles & 4 for doubles). If multiple courts are requested, the member or someone else in their group must call back the front desk to book or reserve their additional courts. Cancellation Policy If you have a court reservation, or if you are registered for a special event, program or lesson and you find it necessary to cancel, 48 hours advance notice is required. This will leave sufficient time for the tennis department to arrange for a substitute or to re- organize plans. Event or program cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice may result in the member being charged for full or partial cost, depending on the nature of the program or event. 48 hours cancellation notice is required for all court reservations and private lessons, otherwise you will be billed for the full cost.

9 SECTION # 4: BOOKING PRIVATE OR GROUP LESSONS Booking Private & Group Instruction A member may book a private/semi- private or group lesson with a tennis professional by either calling their telephone extension, contacting them directly or via . A private lesson will be 1 hour in duration unless otherwise specified (1/2 hour private lessons are also available). Any private/semi private or group training session must be with a member of White Oaks or hotel guest only! Juniors are permitted to take private lessons with the following conditions: - They are members of White Oaks (family or junior member only) - They are involved in the White Oaks Junior Tennis Program (the appropriate # of times per week) see junior program brochure for more information Junior Program and privates lessons can take up to a maximum of 4 courts between 4:30 7:30 pm and 4 courts between 9:00 12:00 pm on weekends. We will make every attempt to find enough suitable courts for our members to play. Cancellation Policy for Private or Group Lessons A member or guest wishing to cancel a private or group training session/lesson must do so by informing the tennis professional by providing 48 hours notice, otherwise the member or guest will be required to pay 100% of the total cost for the lesson. This will leave sufficient time for the tennis pro to arrange other lesson. Cancellation fees will be incurred as follows: More than 48 hours notice: Members will not be responsible to pay for cancelled lesson. Less than 48 hours notice or no show for any lesson: Members are responsible to pay 100% lesson rate. Under certain circumstances (illness or emergency) a lesson can be cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, however it will be at the tennis professional s discretion whether or not the lesson will result in payment (pro will have discretion in consultation with the tennis director or club manager). A member cancelling a club clinic or group lesson with less than 48 hours notice will also follow the same structure above. A member needing to cancel a lesson must call the pro or front desk. Upon speaking with a tennis pro or front desk staff member, a cancellation # may will be provided to the member. SECTION #5: CLUB PROGRAMMING SIGN UPS Signing up for club programs, socials, leagues and clinics We will make every attempt to inform our membership of any special events, programs, leagues and clinics that are available to our members. Signing up for any club program, event, league or clinic can be made at the club desk.

10 In some cases, (clinics/leagues) we request that you speak with the league coordinator or tennis professional to ensure the member is at the appropriate skill level to participate. If a member is not suitable for a clinic or league, the tennis professional/league coordinator will seek to find a suitable program or league. Members are always asked to provide a minimum of 48 hours notice if they need to cancel out of a league/clinic or event. If a member does not provide suitable notice for canceling out of a league/clinic or event, they will be responsible to pay their league fee/clinic or event fee (tennis professional will have some discretion based on the reason to cancel). If a member needs a spare for a league, the spare must still pay the appropriate (ball/admin) fee and court fee (if not a pre- paid member).

All renewing members receive the one hour racquet lesson. The one on one training session can also be booked with a tennis professional and must be used as a private lesson. There are no substitutions, it cannot be transferred from one member to another and it must be used by the individual whose name appears on the pass. The pass must be used by the expiry date. An expired pass cannot be redeemed. A member cannot use a fitness assessment or any other pass for their one on one training session or racquet lesson. Only passes that indicate racquet lesson or one on one training session can be accepted by the White Oaks staff member.
