Junior Clinics: We offer two junior clinic sessions on a weekly basis (five days per week) on a schedule coordinated with the morning and afternoon sailing classes. Weekly clinics begin on Monday, June 30th. The morning session is geared toward the older, intermediate player and the afternoon class is for the younger, beginner player. The children will be generally put into groups based on ability within each session. Please contact Katherine Shiatis, the Casino Clinic coordinator, with any questions and see below for more details and there is no need to pre-register this year. Come along to the courts with your child on the first day to register.
Private Lessons: Our instructors are available for private, group and “sparring lessons” for those who prefer a vigorous workout to more formal instruction. Private lessons are also available for junior players, but participation in clinics is encouraged. Please contact the instructor directly to arrange private lessons.
