4. How old should my child be before he/she joins the team?
A child’s skill level is the main factor in determining whether they are ready for the Tennis team, but generally the Team ranges in age from 8 to High School.
5. I’m not sure my child is ready for the team this year. Are there other options?
Youth Tennis Clinics are a very important part of making sure your child is ready for the Tennis Team in coming years. The clinics offer a great opportunity for skill development in younger players and skill enhancement in older ones. Please visit the Lessons Tab of this website to find out more about tennis clinics.
6. Is there anything offered for adults?
Yes! We will be offering adult tennis drills/lessons in the evenings. Sign up is week to week so you don't have to commit to more than one class at a time. There will be a new signup sheet each week inside the club on the Tennis Bulletin Board. Additionally, our coach is available for private and semi-private lessons. If you have questions please contact us at WoodsideTennis@gmail.com
