You can cancel any booking free of charge with more than 24h notice. However, we will charge you the price of your booking for any cancellations within 24h.
In case of lesson, group training and tournaments, you are able to cancel the booking directly through the app, in the section My Bookings (more than 24h in advance).
In case of matches, you can cancel your participation in the section My matches: choose the match you want to withdraw from, click on the 3 dots next to your avatar, click “cancel participation”.
In this case you will have to find a substitute able to take your spot. The process is the following: go into My Matches, click on the 3 dots next to your avatar, choose “other options”, create a link, send it in the Whatsapp group you belong to.
Please remember that if nobody takes your spot, you are still required to show up and play or you will get charged for the full court (the funds will be taken from your balance to refund the players of the match you didn’t attend).
In case the activity gets disrupted because of your no show, you can get charged for the full cost of the activity, this means the fee of all members participating, who will then be refunded for the costs incurred.
No. We have non-member rates available on all our services. You just need to sign up to our website/app. One of the benefits of being a member is getting discounted rates (for example: for a peak time match a non-member pays £19, a member pays £13) and access to certain products that non-members do not get, such as discounted lesson vouchers and discounts to our partners.

If the other players are registered with us as, we advised you to add their names in the booking to ensure you pay the right price. The person who books the court will have to pay the price of the whole court. Players can transfer balance to each other via the app, if they other players are added to their circle of Friends on the app.
Yes, we organise matches suitable for your level. We just need to assess your level during your first visit to the club or through a Starter package session. Once you have a level you will be able to join matches with other players from the club.
You can join a match using the Open Matches functionality on our app.
To join matches, you need to have a player rating from us, ratings are allocated by our coaches and are not based on self-assessment.
Our coaches are constantly watching matches during the day and will get your rating up if you match the requirements listed in our SPC Player Rating Matrix (link to the matrix here). We also take into consideration results in our SPC tournaments. We also have Player Rating Review session: 3 players of the same level on court with a coach for 30 min in a matchplay.
The coach decides if any of the players on court is ready to be promoted or, in case not, can provide feedback on what needs to be improved.
If you’re in town for a short period of time, you can still come and play as a non-member. If you are in town for more than a month, it’s worth considering the monthly direct debit membership to benefit from discounts. However, if you want to join matches with others, we suggest you take up the Starter package to get a player rating and benefit from discounts.
