NEW - Starting October 1, 2024
Private Lessons Changes and Updates!

We are making some changes! At NORCO, we are updating our use of technology to be more efficient and go cashless. Using Calendly will allow our admin team to collect court fees directly and in a cashless manner. 

Starting October 1st, all courts will be reserved using Calendly by the parent (instead of the coach). This means that for private lessons, families will now reserve and pay for the court directly with NORCO. Please note that coaches will remove the court fee from their prices. 

In addition to going cashless, we are simplifying the NORCO court rental fee structure. Instead of different prices for 1, 2, and 3 players we are making the price the same. We feel that this is clearer for everyone and also easier to account for administratively. That price is $40/hour for a court rental for NORCO Coaches and Members, with a maximum of 3 players. Please note there is a $2 transaction/processing fee, making the final cost $42. 

Steps for a Player/Parent to schedule a private lesson and reserve/pay for the court

Step 1: Let the coach you want to work with know you want to do a lesson
Step 2: Work with the coach on all the details
Step 3: When the coach confirms the lesson, they will provide the official date/time for the lesson and give you
the specific court # to reserve with NORCO
Step 4: As a parent, use the specific Court # and link (all links below) and go through the reservation process and complete payment for the court
Step 5: Send the coach a copy of your court reservation/payment confirmation that is emailed or send a screenshot
Step 6: arrange payment for the lesson (not the court, that's done) and any other details with your coach

To book! Use these Calendly Specific Court # Links. 
Calendly courts are NOW available for booking in October!

ONLY BOOK on the Court Calendar for your coach.

Private Lesson Policies
(from Player/Parent Handbook)

  1. NORCO Coaches may give private lessons at the NORCO Facility to any NORCO player or outside player. Any player outside the club needs to have an updated waiver on file before lessons begin. 

  2. NORCO coaches may not give private lessons to members of their team for a charge or for gifts. These lessons can be done without any type of compensation.

  3. NORCO Coaches must follow current protocol to reserve a court. Any questions need to be directed towards NORCO Administration. 

  4. NORCO charges a court rental fee for all court usage.

  5. NORCO keeps a list of coaches who currently offer private lessons. We’ve removed it from the website because of too much spam so please contact the office for more information.

  6. Parents and siblings are not allowed on the courts during lessons and are expected to remain in the mezzanine or lobby during the entire lesson.

  7. If a player is attending a private lesson outside of office hours without other athletes or coaches present, a parent or other adult needs to be in the mezzanine for the duration of the lesson

Additional Guidelines

  • All athletes, regardless of club affiliation, are welcome to contact our instructors directly for private lessons. 
  • NORCO coaches must conduct all lessons with NORCO players at the NORCO Facility. 
  • Hourly rates are determined by each coach and may vary based on number of athletes participating in the lesson. Inquire about packages to reduce costs per lesson.
  • If a conflict should arise after scheduling a private lesson, you must contact your coach, by phone or email, at least 24 hours prior to the start of your lesson. Failure to contact with at least 24 hours notice will result in paying in full for the lesson.
  • NON-USAV members must fill out waiver before lessons (waiver below that you can print)
  • All coaches conducting lessons at NORCO MUST have a current USAV-Safesport membership.
  • Athletes may not receive private lessons from their own NORCO Head or Assistant Coach during the club season. The coach may volunteer his or her time but is never allowed to receive payment or gifts.

Please remember to contact the coach directly if you are interested in scheduling lessons.
