SUNRISE YOGA

An ancient nonreligious form of self-discipline that includes Yoga stretching, breathing exercises, and meditation to promote physical fitness, flexibility, and immunity. Yoga energizes and purifies the body, gives you a calm focused mind and a more peaceful and joyful spirit, reduces stress, and brings positive approach towards life. Also learn some techniques to resolve/decrease allergies.

10:15am-11:15am 3/27

The simplest, most organic way to begin to practice Yoga is to access your body's own innate wisdom. This stress-free Yoga style encourages beginners to adapt a friendly approach to the body by watching, listening, and observing its current needs and abilities, thus finding ways to experience both ease and steadiness in each pose. We use gravity, breath consciousness, and Yoga props to release and elongate the spine in order to arrive at the best possible expression of each pose and movement.

Lessons, leagues and tournaments are offered on a regular basis for those wanting organized activities. For players not wanting a structured activity, many courts are open for reservations.

Registration Tennis registration may be completed by using internet, in-person or by telephone starting Saturday, March 5. Please see “How to Register” information for detailed instructions.

Hours of Operation Monday thru Sunday -- *7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. *Tennis Center opens at 9 a.m. from October 1 thru March 31.

The tennis center may close early due to inclement weather and/ or lack of court demand.

Reservations Court reservations may be made in person or by telephone at (972) 941-7170 between 9 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., Monday through Sunday. A person may have only one reservation at a time (you must finish your first reservation before a second reservation can be made).

Instruction

Teen-Adult classes have a minimum of six students and a maximum of eight students per class. Youth classes have a maximum of eight students. Any group of two or more players may schedule a special class by contacting High Point staff at (972) 941-7170.

Group lessons are very popular and some classes fill very quickly.

To assure a continuous chain of instruction, it is recommended that students enroll for multiple sessions at the time of initial registration.

For example, a student should enroll for a Beginner session in the first session, an Advanced Beginner I group in the second session and an Advanced Beginner II group in the third session.

QuickStart Tennis High Point participates year round in the QuickStart Tennis play format, a national program designed to help children learn, rally, and play quickly. Using shorter and lighter racquets, balls that are easy to keep in play, and court dimensions tailored to smaller players, youngsters from ages 5-10 pick up the game very quickly.

In short time, young players are able to keep the ball in play and play points just like older and more experienced players. In time, as students’ games improve and as they mature physically, they move to traditional rackets, balls and courts. QuickStart is a great way to introduce children to the great game of tennis!

Court Fees

RESIDENTS

Youth (l7 & under) -- $2.00 per person per session Adult (l8 & up) -- $2.50 per person per session
