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 Summer session, you may attend any Summer session class at a different location as your make-up. For example, if you miss your Tuesday class at Chambers Park, you may attend any Wednesday class at the Murrysville Swim Club.
Junior Challenger, and High School clinics are only offered at one location, so there are no make-up classes available. However, high school students may attend an Adult Clinic class as a make-up.
Clinic classes that are canceled 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.
