Covid 19 Safety Precautions
Fortunately, tennis is a sport in which social distancing can be safely maintained.
- To allow for distancing, a limited number of students will be in each clinic.
- Students will be distanced at least 6 feet away from each other (and me) at all times during instruction, drills, drink breaks, and when exiting the court at the end of class.
-Students will be dismissed from class, one by one, to avoid crowding.
-Hand sanitizer will be available to all students.
-Masks are optional.
No Racquet? No Problem.
If you do not have a tennis racquet, I will be happy to provide you with a racquet for the first clinic. At the end of the first clinic, I will recommend a racquet of the correct size and weight.
Racquets will be available for purchase at the clinic.
Miss a Class? No Problem.
If you have to miss a Little Grippers, Little Kahunas, or Junior Beginner class during the Fall session, you may attend any Fall session class at the Greensburg clinic on Wednesdays as your make-up. Please check the Greensburg schedule for class times.
All canceled classes will be made up. Click on "Make-up Dates" in the Tennis Clinics menu bar, above, for more info.
Private Lessons and Group Lessons are also available. Contact Bob at 814-659-4908.
