How to Book — Pay First, Then Schedule
Important — Payment Before Scheduling
Clients do not book a session time directly. The booking process always starts with payment first. Only after payment is confirmed will the client receive access to Jack's scheduling calendar to lock in a date and time.
The correct booking process is:
- Step 1 — View availability: Clients may view Jack's available time slots on his public Cal.com calendar to get a sense of available times. This is for reference only — you cannot book directly through the calendar without completing payment first.
- Step 2 — Pay via Stripe: Select your session type and venue on starttennissydney.com and complete payment via the Stripe payment link. Payment must be made in full before any session time is confirmed.
- Step 3 — Receive your booking link: Once payment is confirmed, Jack will send you a personalised confirmation page containing your Cal.com scheduling links for the discovery call (1-on-1 only) and your on-court session.
- Step 4 — Schedule your session: Use the links provided to book your discovery call and on-court session time directly through Cal.com.
A booking is not confirmed until both payment has been received and a session time has been selected via the provided Cal.com link. Jack will not hold court bookings or reserve time slots without completed payment.

Trial Requirement — Access to Standard & Package Sessions
Important — Trial First, Then Unlock
All new clients must complete a
trial session before accessing any standard session or 4-session credit pack. This applies to both 1-on-1 and 2–4 people bookings. Standard sessions and the 4-session pack will only be made available to a client after their trial has been completed. Jack will personally send the booking link for standard and package sessions following the trial. Clients who have not completed a trial will not be eligible to book or pay for standard or package sessions.
- Trial (1-on-1): Includes a free 15-minute discovery call with Jack before the session — no extra cost.
- Trial (2–4 people): Available for groups — once all members of the group have attended the trial, the group may proceed to standard or package bookings.
- Standard sessions & 4-session pack: Unlocked after trial is completed. Jack sends a personal booking link via SMS or email after the trial session ends.
- No exceptions: Payment for standard or package sessions will not be accepted from clients who have not completed a trial, unless Jack explicitly agrees otherwise in writing.
Group Size Flexibility — 2–4 People Sessions
Flexible Group Booking
Clients who originally booked as a group of 2–4 people are not locked into bringing the same number of people each session. If someone in the group cannot attend, the remaining members may book at the lower group size rate for that session.
- Price adjusts to actual attendance: If you booked a 4-person session but only 3 can attend, you pay the 3-person rate for that session.
- Minimum 2 people: Group sessions require a minimum of 2 participants. If only 1 person can attend, the 1-on-1 standard rate applies instead.
- Advance notice required: Any change in group size must be communicated to Jack at least 48 hours before the session so the correct rate can be confirmed and payment adjusted.
- 4-session pack adjustments: If group size changes for a pack session, the credit is adjusted to reflect the correct rate for that session. Any difference is either charged or credited at Jack's discretion.
- No-shows within the group: If a group member fails to attend without notice, the session proceeds at the original booked group rate — no adjustment is made for unannounced absences.
Session Fees — All-Inclusive Pricing

Waiver Must Be Signed First
Important — Required Before Payment
The signed Liability Waiver and acceptance of these Terms & Conditions must be completed
before payment is made and before the first session commences. Payment of a session fee without a completed waiver does not constitute acceptance of these Terms — Jack reserves the right to decline the session until the waiver is signed.
Payment Always Before the Session — No Exceptions
Strict Policy — Payment First, Scheduling Second
Payment must be made in full
before any session time is confirmed or scheduled. Clients cannot book a court time through Cal.com until payment has been completed via Stripe. There is no pay-on-the-day, pay-after, or reserve-now-pay-later arrangement. This applies to all sessions including trials, standard sessions, packages and make-up sessions.
After payment is received, Jack will send the client a personalised confirmation page with links to schedule their session via Cal.com. The session time is only locked in once the client has used those links to select a date and time. If a client completes payment but does not schedule their session within 7 days, Jack will follow up via SMS or email. Unscheduled sessions do not expire — they remain as a credit until used or until the applicable expiry period.
Payment Method — Stripe Only
All payments are processed exclusively through Stripe, a secure third-party payment platform. A payment link will be sent to the client at the time of booking confirmation. Clients must complete payment via the Stripe link before the session is confirmed.
- Accepted cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express
- Apple Pay / Google Pay: accepted via Stripe
- No cash, bank transfer, PayID or cheque — Stripe is the only accepted payment method
By completing payment through Stripe, the client agrees to Stripe's own Terms of Service in addition to these Terms. Jack does not store card details — all payment data is handled securely by Stripe. A payment receipt will be automatically sent to the client's email address on file. Jack is not currently registered for GST — all session fees are GST-free unless otherwise stated.
Payment & Scheduling
Payment is charged immediately
When you complete payment via the Stripe link, your payment is processed immediately and funds leave your account straight away. You will receive a Stripe receipt via email upon successful payment. Jack does not store card details — all payment data is handled securely by Stripe in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.
- Payment processed: Immediately upon checkout via Stripe.
- Scheduling: After payment Jack will send you a personalised Cal.com booking link. When you select a time slot, your booking will appear as pending until Jack manually reviews and accepts it. Your selected time slot is held and will not be available to other clients during this period.
- Confirmation: Jack will accept or decline your booking as soon as possible. You will receive an email notification from Cal.com confirming the outcome.
- If Jack cannot confirm the session: A full refund will be issued via Stripe. Refunds typically take 5–10 business days to appear back on your card depending on your bank.
- Client cancels (48+ hours notice): Full refund via Stripe — see Cancellation Policy.
- Client cancels (under 48 hours): No refund — see Cancellation Policy.
Session Packages

Each credit is redeemed by booking an individual session with at least 1 week advance notice. All costs are fully included — no separate fees apply.
Pricing Changes
Jack reserves the right to adjust session fees at any time. Any pricing changes will be communicated to existing clients with a minimum of 14 days' notice and will not apply retrospectively to pre-paid sessions or packages already purchased.
