Class Descriptions:
Novice - (NTRP Rating 1.0-2.0)
This class is designed for players that have never played the game, or have played, but never had a formal education of tennis. Basic mechanics and technique of the forhand, backhand, volleys, overheads, serves, and return of serves are covered. Basic tennis scoring and strategy are also touched on. At this stage, stroke analysis is crucial, and shots are taught mostly from stationary positions.
Advanced Novice - (NTRP Rating 2.0-2.5)
This class is designed for players that have had an introduction and/or initial education of the game, and have the basics down, or for those of you that have taken the novice class and are ready to move up to the next level of instruction. Strokes are fine tuned and specialty shots are introduced, (i.e. lob, dropshot, half volley scoop). Movement and ball placement also become key. Students will have opportunities to put what they've learned into play through games and live ball drills. Preparation for match play as well as singles and doubles strategy are introduced.
