ALL AGES – TENNIS The lesson is approximately 50 minutes of instruction and practice, with the remaining clean-up time. Within that time, we will demonstrate the proper footwork and techniques to help make playing easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.

Younger players (under ten years old) may best be suited for 30-minute lessons, approximately 20 minutes of instruction and practice, with the remaining time for cleanup.

If a child or teen, we encourage a parent or guardian to stay for at least the first lesson while we evaluate attitude and willingness to follow instructions.

Rude, disrespectful, and or dangerous behavior will not be tolerated and will immediately be dismissed without a refund. * Any no-show or late cancellations incurs a full charge for that lesson.
