In an effort to have similar ability levels in our high school classes, we ask that you first register your child on the waitlist. After registration, Coach Mason will contact you to make sure this is an appropriate class for your child. This class is perfect for those that played in a middle school program, took our older Youth Match Play Class or played on a high school B-Team. It is also ideal for the student wanting to go out for high school tennis for the first time! The first 90 minutes will consist of developing all tennis strokes, conditioning and singles/doubles strategy through both instructor-fed and live-ball drills. The last 30 minutes of each class will be devoted to match play. Note-this class does NOT include Wednesday match play. However, if your student would like to participate, please reach out to Coach Mason at jimhmason@comcast.net
