HOW:                  CLINIC

Tennis is taught in an instructional clinic format with 6-7 children per court. Children will be separated by Age Groups. Groups will be co-ed. Basic skills are taught (forehand, backhand, serve, & volley). Depending on progress, we will attempt to play games by the end of the season to teach scoring & apply skills.

 

WHAT (do you need):

Bring a children’s tennis racquet that is size and age appropriate. Please do not give your child your old racquet, as most children do not have the arm strength to hold an adult racquet. Tennis shoes or cross-training sneakers (no sandals!) and loose clothing should be worn, preferably sweats or athletic attire. As the weather warms, the children are encouraged to wear shorts. Don’t forget water!
