Tennis Lessons FAQs

---

Tennis players often develop a strong connection with their racquets — and we completely understand the excitement of choosing your own! However, when beginning your tennis journey, we recommend waiting until after a few classes before purchasing a racquet.

Our coaches can help you find the right size, weight, and fit based on your age, skill level, and playing style. We have plenty of beginner-friendly racquets available to use during lessons, so there’s no need to buy one right away.

Choose clothing that is comfortable and allows you to move freely on the court. Your tennis attire should be appropriate for the season and the weather conditions during your coaching sessions.

A hat or visor is a great addition for protecting yourself from the sun during hot summer practices, while a warm hat can help keep you comfortable during cooler winter sessions.

And most importantly — sunblock, sunblock, sunblock! Protecting your skin is an essential part of enjoying time on the court.

The right shoes can make a big difference in your comfort, safety, and performance on the court. We recommend wearing tennis shoes or court shoes that provide good support, stability, and traction for the quick side-to-side movements in tennis.

Running shoes are designed for forward movement and may not provide the lateral support needed for tennis, which can increase the risk of slipping or injury. If you’re just starting out, don’t worry — you don’t need the most expensive shoes, just a comfortable pair designed for court movement.

For your first few lessons, wear supportive athletic shoes that allow you to move freely. As you continue your tennis journey, our coaches can help guide you toward the best footwear for your playing level and court surface. 

Water Bottle – Staying hydrated is important, especially during outdoor lessons and warmer weather.

Towel & Extra Gear – A small towel, extra shirt, or change of clothes can be helpful, especially during longer sessions or hot days.

Positive Attitude & Willingness to Learn – The most important thing to bring is a great attitude! Tennis is a sport for all ages and skill levels, and we’re here to help you have fun while learning.

We understand that plans can change, and we appreciate your understanding when adjustments are needed to your tennis coaching schedule. Please review our Terms & Conditions for complete details regarding our cancellation policy.

If a class needs to be canceled due to weather, coach availability, or other unforeseen circumstances, we will make every effort to reschedule the lesson(s) or provide a full refund when applicable.

Please note that schedules are subject to change. We reserve the right to reschedule, combine, or cancel classes due to low enrollment or other scheduling considerations.

For the safety and success of all players, only registered player(s) and coaches are permitted on the tennis court during lessons. Parents are welcome and encouraged to stay, watch, and support their player as they learn and develop their tennis skills through our engaging coaching sessions.

We kindly ask parents to allow our coaches to lead the lesson and create a positive learning environment for all players. 

Our coaches will also focus on developing strong sportsmanship skills and reinforcing our “I Am a Good Sport” behaviors, including:

Hugging the racquet while waiting their turn
Cooperating and communicating with a partner
Giving a racquet high-five after each game or practice
Keeping score out loud
Making honest and respectful line calls
Complimenting an opponent after a great shot

We also encourage parents to occasionally bring a book, find a comfortable spot nearby, and allow their player the opportunity to enjoy the lesson independently while building confidence and independence on the court.

Thank you for helping us create a fun, safe, and positive tennis experience for everyone!
