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, July 1st (no class July 4th). 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. 

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.

Junior Clinic Pre-Registration

To give us an idea of how many students to expect each week it would be helpful for parents to use the scheduling tool to the right to indicate which weeks your child will be attending. This is completely optional and no payment will be taken at this time; bills will be sent by mail at the end of summer as has been done in pervious years. Please select the Junior Tennis Clinic most appropriate for your child from the categories to the right. Weekly clinics start each Monday and are billed weekly. You may sign up all at once for the number of clinics your child will attend this summer or fill out a registration form the beginning of each week.

Note: Online pre-registration gives us an idea of interest but we will still require you to fill out and sign registration forms and waivers. Blank forms will be available at the courts.
