Addition information will be provided on Monday December 29th. Hope that helped
I'll go & try out these courts definitely. I hope it's floor won't be as hard on my knees as those of Flying Dragon's i.e. knee pain for a few days after playing there.
I called and it was Troy himself answered the phone BTW, he won't play the 09 Toronto Open though. Probably I will go on Monday afternoon (hopefully it will be less crowded then). You cannot book a court. All drop-in guests must share. Team training/group lessons have priorities over drop-in visitors.
I went this afternoon. Overall it's a nice venue. The floor is good. I have knee problems as well but I don't feel uncomfortable today after 2 hours of non-stop play Just the lights are a little glaring, maybe considering use a cover or change to a different type of bulbs?
Glad to hear you had a good time! To ensure comfortable play, a thin layer of commercial underpadding was chosen and placed in between the mats and the concrete. As for the light issue you encountered, I will let Troy know and perhaps he can look into the matter. Thanks for the CC
thanks Cynric! To ryim: it was OK this afternoon I guess because some people still need to go to work today
If you visit in the evening, make sure to bring a sweater cause when your waiting the side to play, it's freezing. Great club btw, I went last night. The courts are really nice.
Only thing I can remember is $660/yr+GST for single an adult all-you-can-play membership, no initiation fee.
I picked an info sheet: membership fee: type quaterly semi-annually annually single $195 $345 $660 student/senior $155 $260 $490 double $265 $485 $940 family $320 $595 $1160 double: two adults. not transferrable family: 2 adults and 2 kids, not transferrable no initiation fee tax not inclusive group lessons, semi-private, and private lessons are also available for members and non-members. I only posted some info on the info sheet. Please do call them to get more details.
I remember that private with Troy is $45 for members and $50 for non-members. Student membership was about $450/yr. Don't quote me on this number though. I can't remember correctly. All I remember was that it was cheaper than mandarin but it wasn't exactly accessible for transit commuters. No initiation fee though. There were three coaches listed on the flyers. I can't remember their names though...
