Frequently Asked Questions
Do all players need to check in?
Yes. Every player and guest must check in on each visit, even if the booking is prepaid or a waiver is already on file. In the CourtReserve mobile app, find the small barcode/QR icon beside your name on the home page, open your code and present it to the front-desk scanner.

Which Forge membership is right for me?
It depends on how often you play! Ultimate offers no additional private court fees at your Home Court, subject to membership booking limits, and Hybrid court rates at Cross Courts. Hybrid offers lower private court fees, 12-day advance booking at your Home Court, and eligible Cross Court privileges. Playing approximately 3+ hours per week over a year will generally cost less with Hybrid than equivalent Lite play. Forge Lite is free to join, with pay-to-play access and a 5-day booking window at any Forge location.

Where is The Forge West located?
The Forge West is coming to 300 Eagleson Road in Kanata, alongside The Forge East in Orléans. Ultimate and Hybrid members will designate a Home Court; the other facility can be enjoyed through eligible Cross Court privileges. Two locations, one Forge community.

Can I bring a guest to play?
Yes! Please add guests accurately to your booking. Each guest should have a CourtReserve account whenever possible, complete any required waiver and check in when they arrive. Individual court fees may vary by membership.

Is Forge Lite really free?
Forge Lite is free to sign up, with no annual membership commitment. Forge Lite members may have a Home Court on their profile, but they're not tied to it: their 5-day advance-booking window applies at any Forge location, subject to availability. Court and program fees still apply.

Are Ultimate and Hybrid monthly memberships?
Both Ultimate and Hybrid are annual membership commitments, whether you choose to pay the annual amount upfront or through monthly instalments. Paying monthly provides flexibility in how you pay; it does not create a month-to-month membership.
VIEW MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
What's the cancellation and refund policy?
For private court reservations, cancellation more than 6 hours before the start time normally results in a CourtReserve account credit. At exactly 6 hours before the reservation, or any time after that, the booking is non-refundable except in exceptional circumstances approved by management. Events, leagues and lessons may have their own stated cancellation terms. Additional Ultimate no-show and late-cancellation penalties are being developed but are not yet in effect.
VIEW MY BOOKINGS
Will I be able to play at both clubs?
Yes. The Forge is building Cross Court access across East and West. Ultimate and Hybrid members receive primary booking privileges at their Home Court, with applicable Cross Court benefits at other locations. Forge Lite members can book at either location within their 5-day window, subject to availability. Additional Cross Court booking details will be announced before West opens.

What behaviour is expected on court?

What is a Home Court?
Your Home Court is the Forge location associated with your membership. For Ultimate and Hybrid members, it's where your primary membership and advance-booking privileges apply. Another Forge location is a Cross Court. Forge Lite profiles may also have a Home Court, but Lite members can book at any Forge location within their 5-day window.
VIEW MEMBERSHIPS
How far in advance can members book courts?
Ultimate and Hybrid members can book up to 12 days in advance at their Home Court. Forge Lite members have a 5-day booking window at any Forge location. Cross Court advance-booking windows for Ultimate and Hybrid members will be announced separately.

What footwear should I wear?
Wear clean, non-marking athletic court shoes that provide stability for side-to-side movement. Avoid footwear that could damage the court surface or create a slipping hazard.

Can I transfer my East membership to West?
When The Forge West initially opens, existing members will have first opportunity to transfer eligible memberships to West, subject to availability. Existing Ultimate members will have first priority for transfers and any higher-tier offerings, followed by existing Hybrid members for available Ultimate opportunities. Members on the Ultimate waitlist will be considered after those current paid-member priority windows. We will announce the transfer process and deadlines closer to opening.

What happens to the Ultimate waitlist when West opens?
When The Forge West launches, existing Ultimate members will have first priority to transfer to West and to consider any new higher-tier membership offerings. Existing Hybrid members will receive the next opportunity for available Ultimate memberships, followed by members on the Ultimate waitlist. Exact registration dates, response deadlines and availability will be announced before West memberships go on sale.

Can I enter a program above my playing level?
Skill-based programs may have minimum ratings or eligibility requirements. The Forge may use DUPR, past league results and staff assessments to determine appropriate divisions. A free spot does not necessarily mean a player qualifies; we aim to keep programs balanced and competitive.
FIND A PROGRAM
Is Ultimate membership available?
Ultimate membership numbers are limited to help maintain reasonable booking availability. If the Join Now option does not appear for Ultimate in CourtReserve's membership window, that tier is currently full; you can join the Ultimate waitlist. For the West launch, existing Ultimate members will receive first priority for transfers and higher-tier offerings, followed by existing Hybrid members for available Ultimate opportunities, then the Ultimate waitlist. Availability and registration timing will be announced closer to opening.

Can I upgrade or change my membership?

Will memberships cost the same at East and West?
Yes. The Forge East and The Forge West will have consistent membership fees, reflecting their highly comparable amenities and offerings.

Do Forge Lite members have to choose a Home Court?

How do account credits work after cancellations?
Eligible private court cancellations are returned as CourtReserve account credits rather than automatic refunds to your payment card. Check your credit under More → Billing → Transactions, where your account credits and amount due are displayed. You can also pay outstanding charges from that screen.
OPEN COURTRESERVE
How does Cross Court access work for Ultimate and Hybrid members?
Your paid membership designates 1 Home Court, where your primary privileges apply. At Cross Courts, Ultimate members pay Hybrid court rates and Hybrid members retain applicable Hybrid privileges. The advance-booking windows and other operational details for Cross Courts will be confirmed before The Forge West opens.
