Beginner/Intermediate Adult Tennis Drill

This drill is for both the beginner and intermediate tennis player. You must be able to sustain a rally with slow to medium paced balls. If we have different ability levels, the beginners will be placed with the beginners and the intermediate players will also be paired up together. The drill will consist of both live ball and instructor fed drills focusing on different shots and different areas of the court. Be prepared for lots of movement and high-energy drills. This class is a weekly signup and only those registered at the correct level will be able to participate in the drill. Confirmation must be received from Jim Mason and/or Community Education by the Friday before the drill in order to participate in the drill. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jim Mason at jimhmason@comcast.net You will not be charged if the drill does not run due to weather.
