About our Winter Adult program:
We are offering one-hour group adult tennis lessons for a 7-week season (January 22 - March 10). Our cardio classes (taught by Coach Narguess) will be a 6-week season (February 5-March 15). Please note our classes will be held outside, so bundle up and be ready for a workout!
About adult lessons: We are offering tennis lessons for beginners, advanced beginners and intermediate players. Our beginner classes will help new players learn the basics of the game including forehand, backhand, volley, and serve. Our advanced beginner classes will cover proper stroke technique, footwork, positioning and game strategy. For our intermediate classes, we'll focus on refining key strokes and help players improve their consistency, control, directional control, depth and variety. For our advanced classes (4.0/4.5+), we'll customize our class and work on players' specific goals which might include developing depth and variety of shots, being more aggressive at the net, court coverage, footwork and strategy. For all of our classes, we will have a max of 4 players to a court.
-About specialty classes: This class offers highly technical tune-ups and for each class, Coach Forrest will focus on one key stroke (i.e. serves, approach shots, volleys, lobs).
-About cardio tennis: These classes bring together a variety of cardio workouts, tennis drills, and games. A typical class involves a warm up featuring dynamic movement, catching/tossing skills and light hitting, followed by a variety of games and a cool down.
-Coaches: Our winter program will be taught by Coaches Danielle Faucher, Alex Alterman, Forrest Bankston, Narguess Moasser, Mark Johnston and Iliya Taranin. Check out their bios here.
-Price: $35/class or $245 for a 7-week season. For Monday classes, the price is $210 for a 6-week season (as we will not be holding classes on Monday, February 19/President's Day). Our cardio classes (taught by Coach Narguess) will be $210 for a 6-week season.
-When: Please see schedule below. If you are interested in creating a POD class with friends, please contact Kate Emanuel at [email protected]. Of, if you want to see if we can change the level (i.e. beg, intermediate, advanced) or time for a class you're interested in, contact Kate.
-Make-ups: For personal absences, we will offer 1 make-up class where players can attend other classes during the week. We will also provide an online sign-up where players can trade slots. If we have to cancel a class due to weather, the coaches will work with each class to schedule a make up class.
