Drop in Tennis

If you haven't heard, check out these drop in sessions, starting TODAY!

Everyone. Coach John Hein and myself will be conducting drop-in JR lessons Nov 30 - Dec 10. The beginning(ish) classes are Monday and Wednesday 3:30-4:30. This class is best for the kids who aren't ready for full court rallying and/or who haven't played a tennis match. The intermediate(ish) classes are Tues and Thursday 3:30-4:30. This class will have more live-ball
drilling and hitting. On Tues and Thursday we will attempt to have at least one of the Whitman College tennis players on hand to hit against the students. This class should be incredibly experience for those getting ready for Middle/High school tennis!

Cost for the lessons is $5 per drop-in.

If you are planning on attending the December lessons could you please email me at northam@gmail.com with the days you are thinking of attending. This will help me gauge how many instructors to have each day.

Additionally Saturday December 12 we will be running a junior match-play event (we hope to make this a monthly event). Participates will be broken into small groups and will play for 2-3 hours. We had a test run last week and it was a great fun and had wonderful play experience.

Again the Mon and We lessons are for players that can't rally from full court. Tues and Thurs is for players that have played a match and/or can rally from the baseline.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me.
