Practice Programs
Join our Practice & Play programs for a comprehensive tennis experience combining skill development and real matchplay. Each session includes one hour of live ball drilling focused on tactics, followed by 30 minutes of coached matchplay to integrate these strategies into your game.
These drop-in classes utilize dynamic live ball drills to keep you moving, elevate your heart rate, and allow you to hit hundreds of balls, perfecting your shots. The blend of drilling and matchplay provides an excellent opportunity to test and refine the match strategies and tactics learned in our instructional and practice programs.
