CONTRACTS AND CONTRACT LESSONS
Is your contract group interested in coordinating on-going group lessons in conjunction with your contract court time? If so, we offer discounted rates:
Contract play is an opportunity to purchase a court for a block of time for either 60, 90 or 120 minutes. The day and time reserved will be a weekly reservation. This guarantees your time is available unless there is a scheduled event. Contract dates, times and rates for fall are generally released in late July and in mid-December for Spring once all varsity athletic schedules have been confirmed. Contact the front desk at 607-777-3491 for more information.
-
You must be a member to play in a contract
-
Contracts are offered in two blocks, one in fall and one in spring
-
Contracts will be available during specified time blocks each day of the week (determined each semester)
-
Contract captains must submit their complete contract roster and pay the contract fee in full at the time of selection
-
Any contract not paid within two business days of selection will be forfeited and offered to another member
-
Once you have a contracted block, you will have the first right of refusal for the same day/time the following spring contract period, as available
