The Basics
We offer 60 and 90-minute clinics, with instruction customized based upon age and level of experience.
Students will be provided an Open Court Journal and will be asked at the end of each clinic to record the following:
- Our “word of the day” which will be a life skill that tennis teaches such as “teamwork” and “focus”
- What they have learned in the Clinic
- Areas for improvement
