Program Session Dates

There are no refunds for missed classes. Participants may make up the class within the given session or may find a substitute if they cannot attend.

We recommend that juniors sign up and participate in the entire session of junior classes which promotes better class management and insures proper instructor/student ratio. For the junior who is unable to commit to an entire session we will charge an individual class or “drop in” rate. The “drop in” rate is $5.00/per hour more than the regular hourly rate associated with a clinic class.

If the below class times do not work, we can set up a private group lesson. Only 4 participants are needed to create a private junior group lesson.

This level is designed to create a fun environment in which players between the ages of 4-6 years old can learn the basic hand-eye coordination-bouncing, catching, and moving. We will teach the correct grips, the proper technique on strokes, and introduce fitness exercises to improve footwork. We use smaller courts and low compression balls.

All junior players from age 7 and older are welcome Tuesday, Wednesdays and Fridays 4:30pm-6pm, Saturdays 11:30am-1pm and Sundays 12:30pm-2pm. Class pricing options: (credits for classes can be used in any of the days/times listed for come one come all.) Once we receive the roster we will divide the players up according to skill level. Our goal is to offer parents a way to customize their player’s involvement based on what days work for them in each session.

This class is by invitation only from Todd Ashdown, the tennis director. This class is for the junior who has made a commitment to tennis. The player plays tournaments more frequently and plays 3-4 times a week. Focus is on the point play, mental and physical training. Shot selection, working the point with patience and discipline are emphasized. Sign up is weekly by calling the front desk or signing up in person. If you have any questions about the Top Gun class please email Todd Ashdown at tashdown@paramounttennisclub.com. 
This class only, has a per class sign up.
