In this class you will learn the basics of tennis, and begin to rally and play in the first class.


We will start with Red Ball
Since 85% of people that try tennis for the first time, quit. So our goal is to prevent this from happening. The goal will be to just introduce all the basic shots in tennis and go through them quickly. We will use the Red-Orange system of court and ball progressions.
Get a great workout while learning tennis skills and techniques.

*** Note ***

If it is raining in the general vicinity of the tennis courts, or within the hour before the scheduled lesson, it is most likely that the lesson will be cancelled. However, if it is not raining, or if rain has ceased within 1-2 hours or more of the scheduled lesson, there is a good chance that the lesson will be held.

A missed lesson with 24-hour advanced notice may be made up on a different day only when approved.
