Adult Tennis Lessons Pathway
STEP 1 – Learn the basics with TENNIS LESSONS.
STEP 2 – Learn to rally with LEARN TO RALLY.
STEP 3 – Learn to serve with LEARN TO SERVE.
STEP 4 – Learn to play in a LEARN TO PLAY LEAGUE.
STEP 5 – Join a recreational tennis league and start playing regularly.
Racquet Network has programs in place at several tennis facilities in Calgary to help players take all five of the steps above. Players meet other players at their level at every step along the way. Some players become friends. Some become rivals. Either way, players in our programs often tell us that they are playing tennis more often and at a higher level than at any other point in their lives.
Adult Learn to Play Tennis Lessons
Join us Monday and Friday evenings this summer (2012) and learn how to play tennis. This recreational tennis lessons program for adults is open to beginners who want to learn the rules and etiquette of tennis and eventually join a RECREATIONAL TENNIS LEAGUE in Calgary. Participants will learn how to play singles and doubles tennis under the supervision of a certified tennis pro. Those who attend regularly and follow the advice of the tennis pro should expect signficant improvement by the end of this tennis lessons program.
