Defense Wins Championships

One of the things that separates levels of players is their ability to get out of trouble. Being a good defender means that you can get yourself out of a jam whether at the net, back at the baseline or somewhere in between. In this intermediate session players will develop the strategies and techniques needed to become a more consistent player by playing great defense.

Sat Jan 12. 9am-1130am (3.0/3.5) $55

Advanced Training

Train like the pros! If you're an advanced player and you want a great workout, join us for this fun and fast-paced drill session. Less instructional than our clinics, this session is all about hitting a ton of balls in the most important situations: serve & return; third shots; dinking; volleys and smashes. This will be a fun — and tiring — drill session.

Sat Jan 12 1pm-330pm (4.0+) $55

Super Third Shots

What you do with the third shot has a major impact on how the point will unfold. This intermediate clinic is devoted to understanding the strategies and techniques needed to be great at playing this critical moment of a point. Join us for Super Third Shots if you are serious about advancing your game.

Sun Jan 13. 9am-1130am (3.0/3.5) $55

Private Lessons

If you're looking for some serious personal attention, sign up for one of the limited number of private lessons. These lessons are for 1-4 people (you get to select who joins you) and will be tailor-made to your needs. Whether you are a new player who wants to get off on the right foot, or a tournament player looking to excel, a 90-minute private lesson is a great way to go. $180 per group.

Daily Audit Pass

Get a courtside seat with an Audit Pass. This is the perfect solution for people who are injured or if the sessions you want to attend are sold out. You get to watch, listen, ask questions and receive all the follow-up materials that other participants get -- you're a full participant just without hitting any balls. The audit pass lets you sit in on as many of the group sessions (excluding private lessons) you want! $35
