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.
Clinic classes that are cancelled because of inclement weather (or other reasons) will be made up. Click on "Make-up Dates" in the Tennis Clinics menu bar, above, for the make-up class schedule.
Private Lessons and Group Lessons are also available. Contact Bob at 814-659-4908.
