Clinics

 

Clinics are group lessons in which participants will work together to improve their games.  Clinics will have different objectives and goals and will cover all key aspects of the game.   A clinic will help you improve your game, meet more players, and test your game in a more realistic setting against a variety of opponents.

During a clinic Edgar or his assistant will try to balance the different levels of the participants, but expect to play with different players.

Morning Clinic (M/Th 9-10:30am, Sa/Su 10-11:30am): The clinic is open to men and women regardless of level of play, however beginners should join the C clinic. The theme for each session will be determined by Edgar based on the needs and wants of the participants.

Warm-up Clinic (W/F 4:30-5:30pm): The clinics will provide a chance to drill and get ready for the Round Robin events that follow them.

“C” Clinic (Fr/Sa 9-10:30am): The “C” clinic is designed for players who have not played much tennis, have not played in a long time or do not feel comfortable rallying, serving and playing.  The idea is to help players feel more confident about their game and meet other players with whom they can play.  The clinic will offer a mix of practice and play.

“Set Up Your Own” Clinic: Invite three friends to join you for an hour or 1.5 hours and have your own private clinic with Edgar or his assistant.  This can be a mix of drills and/or   match play.

Cardio Tennis (Sa/Su 11:30-12:30pm): Cardio Tennis is designed to workout and get fit on the tennis court.  The class is high paced and involves constant moving.  The main focus of the clinic is fitness.  Participants will improve their stamina, speed, strength and flexibility.  Expect a great workout, lots of hitting, constant motion, and a great variety of fitness activities.

Private Lessons: These can be individual or group lessons.  Private lessons are designed to work on specific aspects of the game catering to the needs of the player or players taking the lesson.

Round Robins (Wednesdays 5:30pm / Fridays 5:30pm): These events are get-togethers on the courts for 1.5 hours.  Participants will play singles or doubles with a variety of partners against different opponents.  The idea is to play three rounds with different partners against different teams.  These events are a great way to play and meet new people in a fun and relaxed environment.  Expect to play with all levels of players.

Intense Clinics  

These are usually multi day, three-hour events where players will have a chance to work on all aspects of their games.  The goal is to get a large group of players together to give everyone a chance to play with many different playing styles and levels. While the clinics are designed as 3-hour events, we understand that people are busy and sometimes can´t commit to the entire program.  Therefore, we will do our best to be flexible and accommodate your schedule. Advanced sign-up is required.  Please speak with Edgar if you have any questions.

Late Bloomers: This clinic is for players that have not played much tennis, have not played in a long time or are not confident rallying, serving and playing matches.   The idea of the clinic is to provide an opportunity for players to work on their games in a relaxed and unthreatening setting.  The clinic is meant as a platform towards a lifetime of fun on the court.  At the end of the clinic players will feel much more comfortable rallying and playing games.

Doubles Clinics: This clinic is for players of all levels that can rally consistently with others. The goal is to work on improving your doubles game through drills, exercises and match play.  After the clinic you should understand the tactical concepts of the game much better and feel more comfortable on the court.

 

 

Court Reservations

 

Throughout the season, players will be able to reserve courts 5 and 6 through the reservation system we used last year.

Here are some important things to keep in mind:

1)   The system is only meant for court reservations and cannot be used to book lessons.  You will have to call or email to do that.

2)   Courts 3 and 4 are reserved for lessons. You can only reserve courts 5 and 6

3)   You are only allowed to book for a maximum of 90 minutes.

4)   You can only book for your upcoming tennis session.  That is, you can only book one session at a time. 

5)   You are not allowed to reserve a court on the day that you want to play.  You need to book it at least a day in advance.  This is to avoid players getting on a court that seems to be free and then being asked to leave by other players who just booked it. 

6)   In order to access the system, you need to follow the link below and create an account.
