• ADVANCED BEGINNER PLAYER
You've completed Beginner Bootcamp and played for a few weeks — now you're starting to see how much MORE there is to this game. Your forehand has a solid medium pace, and you're refining direction and consistency. Your serve also sits at a medium pace, with depth, direction, and consistency all still developing. Dinking is another growth area — sustaining a rally at the kitchen line isn't yet consistent. You know the rules of the game and can keep score confidently.
Time to work on footwork, stroke mechanics, sustained dink rally, court positioning, 3rd shot drive or drop and shading. Register for:

• INTERMEDIATE PLAYER
This player has developed solid shot control on the forehand and is building a consistent backhand. Serve and return are reliably in play, though depth control is still developing. Dinking has grown more consistent, with height and depth control as the next refinement. The player can now sustain medium-length rallies and is beginning to vary pace intentionally. The 3rd shot drop is developing as a tool to advance to the net, and volleys on medium-paced shots show growing control. The player moves quickly to the non-volley zone when the opportunity presents itself. Strategically, they understand the difference between hard and soft game styles and are starting to vary their approach across both recreational and tournament play.
To improve faster, prioritize our drilling sessions — repetition is key to locking in solid stroke mechanics. Each clinic hones in on a specific skill, so you can build your game with focused, targeted practice.

What should I wear and bring?
Bring a water bottle, clothes for exercising and movement including court appropriate shoes with a flat sole. We do not recommend wearing running shoes with a large waffle sole. We offer paddles for beginners to borrow. Eye protection is highly recommended!
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in before your session. The check-in desk is to the left before you get to the lower court. There you will get your court, coach assignment and sign our waiver.
Cancellations of 48 hours or more, we will fully refund you minus the Stripe 2.9% transaction fee for courts and one time clinics. If you miss a session of a four week class, we will do our best to reschedule you for the same class at a different time. If you cancel less than 48 hours, we will reschedule your court or clinic, we are not able to offer you a refund.
