Advanced Coed Doubles Clinics
These 90 minute clinics are for men and women rated NTRP 3.0 to 4.5. Mixed doubles, men's doubles, and women's doubles teams are encouraged to come together, but individuals are encouraged to come as well. This clinic offers extensive drilling on advanced doubles tactics and strategy. Each week, we'll focus on a different aspect of the game, such as net play, poaching, using signals, and recognizing patterns. We also work on stroke mechanics and footwork. These clinics are held once a week on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings, 7:30-9:00pm.
Advanced Women's Doubles Clinics
These 90 minute clinics will be for women playing NTRP 3.0-4.0 leagues or tournaments. At each clinic, we will focus on a particular aspect of doubles tactics and strategy. Students will get the opportunity to practice what they learn during situational point play.
Doubles 10 packs can be applied toward any 90 minute clinics.
BAITL Clinics (Singles and Doubles)
These 90 minute coed clinics were originally developed for players competing in the Bay Area Industrial Tennis League corporate league, but are open to anyone who wants to come. All levels of players are welcome. This clinic will alternate between singles and doubles clinics. Every other week will be focused on singles, and every other week that isn't singles will focus on doubles.
Occasionally, we'll have a technique clinic that focuses on the one stroke. We'll spend the entire 90 minutes working on the various aspects of that stroke. If you have a particular stroke you'd like covered in a technique clinic, let us know and we can add it to the schedule!
The clinics are held once a week on either Tuesday or Thursday night, 7:30-9:00pm. Singles clinics will be held on a demand basis (if people ask for it, we'll have one); otherwise, it will be a doubles clinic.
10 packs can be applied toward any 90 minute clinics.
Serve Technique Clinics
These 90 minute clinics focus on just one stroke, the serve. Whether you are just learning to serve or you want to learn how to hit a kick serve to the ad court, whether you want more power or more consistency, this clinic is for you!
We will teach you the proper grip, toss, technique, and footwork to get the serve you want. We will also give you personalized tips that you can use in practice or in matches when we're not there to help.
There is no Serve Technique Clinic currently scheduled, but contact John if you'd be interested in one.
Youngster Clinics

Private Lessons
The individual attention of private lessons is the best way to work on specific aspects of your game and is a great complement to group clinics. We can give you expert instruction on the proper technique for any stroke, as well as strategy and tactics for both singles and doubles. Private lessons, combined with drilling in the group clinics, is the best way to improve your game rapidly and take it to the next level. We teach both kids and adults for private lessons.
