Adult Tennis Lessons

Although these are branded as “adult” tennis lessons, they are open to players aged 12 and up. The majority of participants are adults. But younger players who are comfortable around adults are welcome to participate.

Tennis for Adult Beginners

Tennis for Adult Beginners gets new players started on the right foot. This four-lesson package teaches the simple strokes and habits that form the foundation for quality tennis development. Over the course of these four 120-minute lessons, participants are taught the fundamentals of hitting forehands, backhands and volleys as well as serving and returning serves.

All sessions run on Saturday mornings from 9:00-11:00am. Dates for the 2010 outdoor tennis season are as follows:

Spring Session – May 15, 29 and June 5, 12, 2010
