2023 Fall Afterschool Tennis Classes
Our Fall afterschool tennis program offers one-hour classes for boys and girls (ages 5-16) for beginner, advanced beginner and intermediate players. We’ll teach your child how to play basic tennis (or help improve their skills) while having fun and getting lots of exercise!
-Where: Lafayette-Pointer Park tennis courts
-When: Monday-Friday (3:30, 4:30 and 5:30 one-hour classes). Please see below for specific times and ages for each class (i.e. "6-9" means it's a class for 6-9 year olds). If you don't see the right fit for your schedule or your child's age/level, contact Kate ([email protected]) and we can adjust the schedule.
The length of the season will range from 6-10 weeks depending on your class time (3:30, 4:30 or 5:30 pm) due to sunset times and day light savings:
-For 3:30 classes, the season will end the week of November 6 (sun sets at 5 pm)
-For 4:30 classes, the season will end the week of October 30 ( (sun sets 6:06 pm)
-For 5:30 classes, the season will end the week of October 23 (sun sets at 6:15 pm but “civil sunset” or dusk is until 6:41 pm)
-Price: $35/class or $350 for 10-week season, $315 for 9-week season, $280 for 8-week season, etc.
-Determining your child's level: If you have questions about your child's level, one the first day of class, Coach Erin Rosebar will evaluate your child's level and place them in the appropriate class for the day you signed up. If you have questions before then, contact Kate or Erin.
-POD: If you are interested in creating a POD (i.e. creating a group for your child and child's friends), please contact Kate at [email protected]
-Coming to the courts & CLS: If your child is walking up to the tennis courts by themselves, please make sure that their teacher knows that they are self-dismissing to go the tennis courts up the hill. If they are also in an afterschool program (CLS or CCPC) you need to let the program coordinator know that they will be participating in the Lafayette Tennis program. If you need LTA to retrieve your child from CLS and bring them to the courts, please email us ([email protected]). Please note: Our coaches can retrieve your child from CLS but we cannot return them to CLS (that is CLS’ rule, not ours)
-School days off: We will still have classes every day regardless of school days off (except for Federal holidays: Monday, Sept 4/Labor Day, Monday, Oct. 9 Indigenous People's Day and Friday, November 10, Veteran's Day.
-Tennis gear: If you need to buy a racquet, we have a brand new relationship with Tennis Zone (4839 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, WDC) where you can get 10% off (mention LTA) and they can help you pick a racquet that's appropriate for your kid's size.
