Set Group of 8

Great for families or businesses! If you have a group of folks from the office or several family members or friends who would like to learn how to play or have played in the past and need to get some rust off, let us know! We can accommodate your schedule and give you discounted rates for lessons if you come in as a group.

 

 CLASSES ON THE HORIZON

 

Video Analysis Class

We'll set up a video camera to tape you performing the specific shots you'd like to work on, and then we'll put the video up on a TV screen so we can help you identify what you need to fix right there on the spot!

 

Stroke of the Week Class

We'll work on a specific shot each week, and have a set schedule so you can come in for whichever class you'd like. Great for beginner level tennis players.

 

Cardio Tennis

This is a fast paced one hour group fitness class. You do not have to be a tennis player to join this class. Consider it to be a great cardio workout while you've got a racquet in your hand!
