Tennis Lessons
Now available for everyone — even non-HSRRA members. This summer we’re running an expanded program with two coaches, from June 15 through August 20: group classes for every age and level, private & semi-private lessons, and a Thursday-night adult class.

Good to know
How Lessons Work
Group classes are 2-day classes
Each group class meets twice in one week for a single $50 price. Choose Mon & Tues or Wed & Thurs — or sign up for both to do a full week.
Privates are booked by the hour
Private and semi-private lessons are reserved for one evening time slot. Each slot can be booked only once, so grab the one you want before it’s gone.
The adult class is a drop-in
The Thursday-night adult group is a $30 single-evening drop-in. Just pick the Thursday you’d like and register — no series commitment.
On five of the ten weeks the club also runs Rec Tennis for younger kids. On those weeks the little-kid morning classes pause and only the Middle & High School groups meet, in the afternoon. The schedule below shows exactly which classes run each week.
