Group Class Descriptions
Group classes are designed to allow students to hit hundreds of balls, in match-like situations. Students will receive general instruction that applies to the entire group, and may get few individual pointers, as needed, throughout the class. These classes are meant to keep all players moving and burning calories while practicing important tennis fundamentals and strategies. Group classes allow students to take advantage of an instructional class at a more affordable rate. To learn more about which class is right for you, or your child, see our class descriptions below.
Future Aces – Ages 5-7, Minimal tennis experience

While students in this class are not quite ready for the full court, they will be able to hold rallies and play out points on their own. Introduction of serving and individual competition will begin at this level.
Junior – Ages 8-11, Some tennis experience
This class will have a mixture of reduced court size and full court size play time; with focus on transitioning students to the full size game of tennis.
