HOW TO COPE AND STAY SAFE IN EXTREME HEAT
During extreme heat it is easy to become dehydrated or for your body to overheat. Here are some tips during the extreme heat:
- Keep cool: use air conditioning or a fan, wear light and loose-fitting clothing, and keep skin wet, using a spray bottle or damp sponge and by taking cool showers.
- Stay hydrated: during days of extreme heat, keep drinking water before you feel thirsty, especially if outdoors or performing physical activity.
- Check in with others. Let family, friends and neighbours know you are OK or check in with those at increased risk or who may need your support during days of extreme heat.
- Monitor the weather forecast and the Bureau of Meteorology Heatwave warnings online or via the Bureau’s app.

ADUADULT CASUAL LESSON UPDATED PRICING
We know as adults we are super busy with life, and family commitments, at Slamin we get it. So we have now introduced as much flexibility as we possible can to enable adults to get on court.
We understand the need for flexibility for adults, and committing to an entire term can be challenging. Hence we have enable a casual booking system right through your customer portal.
All adult classes are able to be booked as a single date session, at a slightly higher rate.
We hope this will empower adult players to be able to get on court in any way they feel like.
Please see the new pricing below for Casual lesson:
If you are an adult who would like to try tennis, don’t be shy! Reach out for a FREE trial, we have many beginner groups, first time players, as well as those returning to the sport they played as a child.

WINTER AND SUMMER TERMS
Sessions may from time to time be cancelled due to poor weather. Rain or extreme heat. An SMS cancellation message is automatically sent to the player’s nominated mobile to inform of the weather cancellation. If no SMS is received please assume lessons are running as normal.
Your tennis coach who is onsite at the venue has the ability to assess court surfaces and make decisions on lesson cancellations. Your Coach will inform you ASAP, but sometimes the rain will come as the lesson starts, or 5 minutes after the start of a lesson, so we do request understanding from parents when the weather is not so kind.
A lesson and court status update will always be posted before school pick-up, to save busy parents time. As always in the event of a weather-related cancellation, your coach will send an sms cancellation to your designated mobile number.
