Timings, drop-off, and pick-up
- The camp starts at 10.00am and concludes at 4.00pm each day.
- We allocate coaches to look after children in advance. Outside of these times we are busy preparing for the day, so we ask parents to please be responsible for your children until at least 9.45am and no later than 4.15pm, unless you have registered for early drop-offs and late pick-ups.
- Early drop-offs from 8.30am and late pick-ups until 5.30pm are available for a small fee. This will be an option at the time of booking, if you need to add this later, please contact us.
- Each child must be 'checked out' with their registered parent/guardian (please notify us by email to hello@courtside.uk if someone else will be picking your child up on a particular day).
Site restrictions
- Our facility agreement with Places Leisure includes use of the tennis courts, indoor sports hall and squash courts on specific days (in the event of bad weather), reception and café areas.
- Other areas are 'out of bounds' and, for your children's safety and enjoyment, we would appreciate your support in helping us reinforce this.
Contact
- If you have any questions about the camp or would like to let us know anything about your child, please let the Head Coach know when you drop them off.
- If, at any stage, you need to contact us or your child urgently during the camp day, please call the Courtside office number on 023 8017 0725 and we will get a message through for you.
What to bring
Racket
Equipment is provided at camp, however if your child has their own tennis racket and would prefer to use this, please ensure it is clearly labelled with their name.
Food
Please provide a packed lunch for your child, as well as some snacks for break time. The campers will be very active, so we recommend bananas or nut-free energy bars.
Important notes about food
- We run NUT FREE camps, please do not bring any nuts or nut-based products as we often have campers with nut allergies.
- Courtside is unable to provide food for children.
- We ask that your children do not share food with other children.
Drink
Please provide a water bottle for your child, there are water fountains where bottles can be topped up throughout the day.
Clothing
Please wear suitable clothing. We strongly recommend good tennis shoes or trainers, t-shirt and shorts; for changing weather conditions, tracksuit top and bottoms are also useful.
In the event of sunny weather
- Ensure you send your child to camp with a sunhat.
- Ensure a water bottle is provided, that can be refilled during the day.
- Ensure that sunscreen is applied before leaving for camp and that your child has a supply with them to reapply throughout the day.
- Your co-operation in helping us ensure your children remain safe in the sun is much appreciated.
And finally…
- Belongings: please take your child(ren)’s belongings home with you each day; we cannot be responsible for rackets, clothes, water bottles or lunchboxes left with us after your child has left and will either donate items to charity or dispose of them.
- Mobile phones: we would advise against mobile phones as we cannot be liable for loss or damage. If they are brought onsite, this is at the risk of the owner, and they should not be used during tennis sessions please (other than in exceptional circumstances).
- Photography: please be aware we may take some photos and/or video footage from time to time during the week to be used for marketing the services of Courtside on both print and web-based products. We will ask you to sign a consent form upon arrival to your child's first day of camp.
