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 or Little Kahunas class during the Summer session, you may attend any Summer session class on a Tuesday or a Wednesday as your make-up.
Junior and High School clinics are only offered once per week, 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.
