Adult Tennis
We provide adult lessons, cardio lessons and private lessons for adults
Adult Tennis Lessons
We offer group tennis lessons for beginners, advanced beginners, intermediate and advanced players. We offer Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter programs at the Lafayette-Pointer park courts. Drills cover proper stroke technique, footwork, positioning and game strategy. This is a great way to get some exercise, meet new people and hone your tennis skills. For our classses, we have a max of 4 players to a court.
Cardio Tennis
Our one-hour classes provide fun and casual group exercise for all ages, ability and fitness levels. Our sessions bring together a variety of cardio workouts, tennis drills, and games. A typical class involves a warm up featuring dynamic movement, catching/tossing skills and light hitting, followed by a variety of games and a cool down. Our coaches will also provide light coaching (strokes and footwork).
Sign up for our Summer Adult season here!
For the time ever, we are offering a summer adult program! We're keeping it a little short--5 weeks--as we know you have busy summer plans (the season will run from Monday, July 7 thru Sunday, August 10). The week of August 11 will be a make-up week for weather-related cancellations.
We are offering one-hour classes during the week (7 am, 5 pm, 6 pm and 7 pm classes) and during the weekend (classes all day on Sat and Sun). The reason we're offering limited classes during the week is our all-day youth summer camp will be in high gear!
About our adult lessons: We are offering tennis lessons for beginners, advanced beginners, intermediate and advanced players. Our beginner classes will help new players learn the basics of the game including forehand, backhand, volley, and serve. Our advanced beginner classes will cover proper stroke technique, footwork, positioning and game strategy. For our intermediate classes, we'll focus on refining key strokes and help players improve their consistency, control, directional control, depth and variety. For our advanced classes (4.0/4.5+), we'll customize our class and work on players' specific goals which might include developing depth and variety of shots, being more aggressive at the net, court coverage, footwork and strategy. For all of our classes, we will have a max of 4 players to a court.

-Price: $40/class or $200 for the 5-week season.
-Make-ups: If we have to cancel a class due to weather, the coaches will work with each class to schedule a make up class or we will refund you.
