Class Level Descriptions Beginning Tennis- is for players who have never taken a class before, and want to learn the fundamentals. Junior (4 to 18yrs) players should stay in beginning tennis until they can rally with other kids consistently. For adults, they should only stay in beginning tennis for one class session. Advanced Beginning- is a secondary class for adults. They should have taken a beginning class before or have reasonable control rallying with other players. This is an introduction class to score keeping and playing so if you already know how to play matches, you should be in adult Drills or Intermediate classes. For juniors you should be able to keep rallies with other juniors but not have match play experience.
