During the indoor season (Nov-Apr), we focus more on doubles, while during the outdoor season (May-Oct) we incorporate more singles play. Our drills, games, and video analysis will take your game to the next level. You will learn court coverage, shot selection, communication, technique, and winning strategies. Join with a friend, or make new friends in our classes. Whether learning tennis for the first time or returning to the court after several years there is a group for you.
Entry / Advanced Beginner
This level group lessons for adults are designed for those who are new to the sport or have limited experience playing as well as players who haven’t played in maybe 10-15 years, but did play on a high school team. Participants will learn the basic rules of tennis, how to properly hold and swing a tennis racquet, and the different types of shots you can hit, including forehands, backhands, volleys, and serves. Attention will be given to court positioning, as well as strategies for playing both singles and doubles matches with an introduction to matchplay through our events hosted by UTR. Our goal is to provide a fun and supportive environment where you can develop your skills and feel more confident playing tennis from our experienced coaches.

Low Intermediate / Intermediate
Our Intermediate level group lessons are for those that have competed before and looking to get better through competition. These classes are designed for players to utilize more tools in their tool belt including slicing, lobbing, accuracy, depth, hitting slice serves, serving and volleying, communication, decision making, shot selection, technique, and creating strategy. The goal is to hit every shot with purpose. New players joining must have a UTR above a 1.5 (or USTA 2.5). Don’t have a UTR rating? That’s ok, play a few matches and the scores will do the rest. Click here to find local UTR events. You cannot join these classes without the intent to compete.
