Oakwood Junior Tennis Instruction
Winter 2009
Junior instructional clinics
- It's indoors, so rain, snow, or cold, we have the class!
- Sportsmanship and attitude go hand-in-hand with forehands and backhands on our courts.
- For your child to get the most of his/her classes have them bring a friend (non members welcome for a slightly higher fee) so that they will be more inclined to practice what is being taught.
- Taught by USPTA Director of Tennis, and former World Pro Touring Coach, Mark Vines. When Mark is not available, Kersten Morrison, a USPTA certified instructor steps in.
- 60 minute classes are $12/child/day; 45 minute classes are $9/child/day. Non members pay $2 more.
- We use both age and ability to determine class placement...trying to challenge your child.
Introductory and Basic Skills Classes
- Tailored to beginners and pre-competitive juniors who aren't ready to enter into competition.
- Emphasize on basic skills training using fun drills/games.
