Suggested racket sizes:
4-5 years old: 21-23 inch (Sponge Ball, Red Ball)
6-8 years old: 23 inch (Red Ball)
9-12 years old: 25 inch (Orange Ball, Green Ball)
12-17 years old: 26-27 inch (Green Ball, Yellow Ball)
Check-In: All participants have to check-in at the front desk before going to court. Please come on the day you picked at registration so we can have the right instructor/child ratio. Always check in.
Class Participation: Our kids classes are priced well and we don’t offer credits/make-ups unless it is a large number of rain out days. Missed classes cannot be made up on a different day without instructor approval.
Weather: We have indoor courts which are to the left of the Main Clay Court Building. If it’s raining and we have courts indoors, we just go indoors. If we do NOT have indoor courts, you will receive a text message to the number on the account. BE SURE TO SIGN UP FOR MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS!
