Beginner Intermediate Tennis

 

Beginning Tennis:  

Our beginner class focuses on stroke technique and pure fundamentals from the perspective of a player who has never held a racquet.  This will include dead ball feeding (drop-and-hit, tossing, and coach feeding) with some live ball rallying.  Covering forehands, backhands, volleys, overheads, and serves, participants will have learned all the major building blocks of tennis.  The class culminates with match play and participants learning to play actual points and scoring for sets.  This is a great course to learn if you have never played before, or if you want to better understand and review the core fundamentals of the game.  There are NO make up classes on an individual basis for a missed class.

Intermediate Tennis:  

The intermediate class focuses on strategy and consistency.  Generally, there are more rally based drills (minimal feeding) and more of an open discussion between coach and participants to determine what strokes and situations specifically the group needs to work on.  Subjects may include but are not limited to: lobs, drop shots, slices, approach shots, hitting with depth, change of direction.  This course is best for the player looking to improve their game beyond just the pure fundamental shots.  There are NO make up classes on an individual basis for a missed class.

YOGA

Lunchtime yoga is an opportunity to provide your body with some gentle movement, strengthening, stretching and balancing.  We will use the poses (asanas) to reconnect with your senses, to breathe some life back into ourselves, find internal balance and to recover from the efforts of the work week.  The focus is on calm reconnection with ourselves rather than working out.  Please bring a mat and a water bottle.  This class will be held at the School of Kinesiology on the 4th floor in room 4099.   To register, click on the dates of the session you are interested in.
