This player may have trouble making contact with the ball during the first lesson. MOST IMPORTANTLY, this player has never played organized, competitive tennis of any kind. In these classes, players will learn basic fundamentals of stroke technique and production, get an introduction to basic stroke combinations and playing patterns, get an introduction to the basics of scoring and match play positioning, and learn tennis terminology and court layout.

  This set of classes is designed for players who have basic knowledge of scorekeeping and grips, but struggle to maintain rallies and/or compete because of poor court positioning and consistency.
