Beginner Class: This class is for players new to the game, or those whose skills still need some honing before they are ready to play against older kids. Grip technique will be taught, along with an intro to footwork. Swing technique will be refined, as player will have reinforcement based on their needs. The class will be split into two courts, with one coach assigned to each court to best suit the needs of the group. Players urged to participate are those ranging from no training to those who can hit the ball well, but are not ready to rally and need some more technique work. Technique drills and games will comprise this class. Forty-five minute classes will be held on a weekly basis from 9:00 – 9:45am (Tuesday – Friday) and 3:15 – 4:00pm (Monday – Thursday). The cost of each session is $30.
Junior Development Class: This class is for players to continue to hone their grips and technique, but more movement drills will be introduced, as will serving. Players will rally against each other in first-to-ten style games. Players who feel comfortable with their strokes and are able to sustain short rallies (a few balls in a row hit back when hitting against another player) are the target level. This will be a two court class to suit the needs of individual players. The class will be comprised of a mix of technique, games, and playing drills. Sixty minute classes will be held on a weekly basis (Monday – Thursday) from 12:15 – 1:15pm and (Tuesday – Friday) from 10-11am. The cost of each session is $40.
Private Lessons: Private lessons are available for any age if you are interested in more one-on-one instructional time with our tennis instructors. They can help you with anything from footwork to ground strokes to match toughness. Lessons are dependent on instructor availability. Inquire at the Pro Shop for more information and to sign up. The cost of private lessons is $35/hour or a package of four for $120. You can also do semi-private lessons (2-4 people) for $40/hour or a package of four for $140.

Georgetown Tennis Teams
Competitive Group: The Competitive Tennis Team will focus predominantly on match play. Players should be able to serve, return, score, and rally. There will be occasional drills and technique, but the majority will be match play, point construction, and training for matches. This summer, the team will also do a little bit of cross-training, including short runs. This group will compete against other clubs in Friday matches. The Tennis Competition Squad will run from the week of June 17th through the week of August 19th. The practices will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-3pm. The cost of the program is $90.
Development Group: This is a terrific choice as a companion group for the top level junior classes. This will not be a technique class, but an intro to match play and focus on strategy, scoring, and point construction. Kids must be able to serve, return, and sustain short rallies. The Development Tennis Team is great for players who want to play against other developing juniors, and offers the option to move up groups if the player rapidly improves. The Development Tennis Team will practice on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 – 3:00pm starting the week of June 17th and continuing through the week of August 19th. The cost of the program is $75.
