Thereafter, an instalment is debited via direct debit in the first week of each month.
Cancelling is simple
Send an email to usc@uscsport.nl, or cancel your membership yourself via the ‘My USC’ website. Your membership will then end on the last day of that month.*

- To give as many people as possible the chance to secure a spot in a tennis course, you may purchase only one tennis course per person per period.
- However, you may register for both a tennis course and a padel course.
- Tennis courses involve training with a maximum of 9 participants across 2 indoor courts. A lesson lasts 60 minutes, with 50 minutes of actual instruction.
- Tennis lessons take place on indoor courts; therefore, lessons proceed in almost all weather conditions.
- You may attempt to make up a missed lesson during the same course period in which it was missed.
- This is possible only at your own skill level and with any USC trainer.
- Make-up sessions are only permitted if there are 7 or fewer participants present at that time.
- Lessons are non-transferable. If you are absent, other course participants are given the opportunity to make up a lesson; you may not send a substitute (such as a friend) in your place.
- Trainers may remove you from the group if your skill level proves to be insufficient.
- If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the trainer may deny you entry. In the event of a trainer’s absence, we will attempt to arrange a substitute.
- If this is not possible, the lesson will be made up at a later time.
- The first make-up session usually takes place in the week following the course.
- The make-up session may differ from the regular lesson day and/or time; this can occur due to high court demand or when multiple make-up sessions need to be scheduled.
- If USC is unable to schedule or provide a make-up lesson, the following compensation policy applies:
- Course participants with a ‘free play’ membership: a one-time discount on the regular monthly fee of the current membership.
- Course participants without a free-play membership: a credit on their USC account equal to the value of the missed lessons.
