Tennis Clinics, Private Lessons and Adult Programs

CSC Youth Tennis Clinics 

Clinics are youth group lessons designed for instruction and improvement. These weekly clinics are run by Head Pro, Stephanie Springer, and her assistant coaching staff. Any member can enroll. Kids do not need to be on the team to take clinics, and team members can take clinics to work on their skills. Children are placed by ability and can progress into a higher level as their competence improves. Please speak with Coach Stephanie if you're not sure which clinic level your child should join. 

**If a clinic is cancelled due to weather, you'll receive a text through REMIND.** 

Preschool Clinic (Ages 3-5)

Try tennis in 30 minute class sessions with age appropriate drills and games. We'll use balloons and Red Balls with our racquets and a mini net. Eye-hand coordination, tennis basics, and fun are top priorities! 

Beginner/Advanced Beginner Clinic

Introduction to tennis through age appropriate skill building activities and drills using balloons and red balls. Red Balls are larger and softer than a standard tennis ball, making contact easier for beginners. Players will learn proper technique for the basic shots of tennis and play tons of games. 

Intermediate Clinic

Intermediate players will work on consistency, rallying several times back and forth, and playing out competitive points. Players will continue to improve their forehands, backhands, volleys and serves. 

Clinic Times, Dates, and Cost

All clinics are $80 for the 3-day week. All clinics are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. In the event of rain, Thursday will be a make-up day. *Be sure to join the Remind at the top of this page so you will be notified of any clinic information, including rain outs!
