In the Adult Tennis Development clinic, players sign up for class because they have much specific tennis and general experience that enables them to try new ideas and activities in a comfortable and appropriate environment. They have made the decision personally to learn and or play tennis in their spare time so high quality programs that are enjoyable and purposeful are essential for them.

Our program is designed to suit players from any age group and level of play, whether they are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player. We focus on fundamental skills for beginners and intermediate players by improving their technical and tactical skills. These are the fundamentals of the game, and through a 4 step method used by our coaches starting with ball dropping, hand tossing, racket feeding, and rallies, we develop their skills targeting their errors in specified drills. Each clinic we train our players on a particular skill or stroke, using equipment and the correct court size/ball level in order to give them a chance to hit the ball and work on that given stroke.
