Rising BEGINNER 1.75 Adult schedule

---

From a skill development perspective, there is no recommended starting class as each skill has its own unique learning pathway.  There is no prerequisite for any of the beginner classes.  

You may, however, want to consider starting with the class that interests you the most or a class that fits your schedule.  Keep in mind that regardless of the class theme, all shots are still practiced. 

The format is 50% focused on instruction within the class "theme", 25% instruction on other strokes, and 25% on gameplay with coach feedback on your newly developed skill(s).

No, there is absolutely no recommended sequence. Learning how to do a "backhand" theme class first does not prepare you for a "serve" theme class.  They are totally unique skills.

Register for whatever class that interests you the most within your level.  Some players may wish to only register for multiple "backhand" classes, while others may wish to take 1 of every "theme" before reassessing what to participate in next.  Some students may select classes that are just convenient locations for their schedule.  

We highly recommend you do not think of the skills of tennis learning in a sequence; it is a dynamic sport that involves numerous skills. We'll be there on court in a 4:1 ratio, so rest assured your skills will come together.  

Also, remember that and all shots are practiced in every class - there is simply more emphasis on the theme.

Most definitely. It is highly unlikely you will advance to the next level after just 1 class. Moving up a level will require a combination of playing games, hitting against a wall &/or classes. We'll help u make it happen and make it totally fun along the way.

No, it just means the core instruction & drills is 'backhands based'; other strokes are still practiced 

Yes, particularly if you have varying strengths between the different their shot types. We sometimes see students that have an "ADVANCED-BEGINNER" level forehand and a "BEGINNER" level backhand; and this type of student is encouraged to register accordingly.

Themes are a way of putting some more emphasis on one aspect of the game of tennis.

For instance, a footwork class isn't without hitting forehands & backhands - rather it's providing more focus on your feet while hitting forehands & backhands.

Tennis is incredibly dynamic & it's important to allow your 'brain & body' to limit the amount of activity when learning. So we structure the classes in a way to direct our thoughts rather than tackle too may things at once.
