Hello VRSTC tennis players. Below is a quick summary of the Adult and Youth Tennis programs we’ll be offering
this summer.
ADULT TENNIS CLINICS will be offered every Saturday morning beginning at 9 AM starting May 18th. Adult
Tennis Clinics will consist of 1 – 1 ½ hour of skills and drills with basic instruction on technique and strategy. Beginning
Players start at 9 AM and Intermediate Players will start at 10 AM. If you’re looking to get back into tennis shape, learn
new skills, or just have some FUN this is the class for you. The cost is $10 per member/class or $15 for non-members for
the beginner class and $15 per member/class or $20 for non-members for the intermediate class . Class size is limited to 8
players. Sign up using the Tennis Activity book at the pool office or email Ron at [email protected]. You can only sign
up in advance for one Sat class at a time. Drop in’s are welcome if space is available.
YOUTH TENNIS LESSONS will be available Mon – Thurs starting June 17th. Beginner and intermediate classes
will be offered with beginner classes starting at 11 AM. The intermediate class will start at 1 PM. Beginner classes will
run for 30 minutes. Intermediate classes will run for 45 minutes. It’s a whole new ballgame for kids 10 and under.
We will be offering the USTA 10 and Under format for the (10 and under) Beginner I & II classes. USTA 10 and
Under tennis incorporates a format using age appropriate tennis equipment and tailors the size of the court so that kids
can learn, rally, play and compete in a way that is more FUN. Member registration is May 28th. Non-member registration
is June 4th.
The YOUTH TENNIS TEAM is open to all VRSTC members currently enrolled in K-12. The team is divided into
Elementary (K-5), Middle School (6-8), and High School (9-12). Which team you are on is determined by the grade you
will be in during the Fall of 2013. Team practices begin on June 17th and end in Mid-August. Team practices are
Mondays-Thursdays, with team matches on Fridays. Elementary School Team practice will start at 10 AM and run for
45 minutes. High School Team practice will start at 2 PM, Middle School practice at 3 PM, and both will run for one
hour. A sign-up sheet for the Youth Tennis Team will be available on the tennis courts the first few days of practice.
The “FUTURE JV and VARSITY HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS CLINICS” will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays at
4 PM. This 1 hour clinic is a great workout for the player currently playing Middle School tennis, JV or Varsity High
School tennis looking to keep his or her game sharp and preparing for fall tryouts. Participants will have fun learning the
intermediate and advanced techniques of tennis while performing more challenging drills. You can sign up at the front
office at the pool or contact Ron Coleman ([email protected]). Class size is Min 4, Max 6 per court. This class
begins June 17th.
PRIVATE and GROUP LESSONS will also be available. Lessons can be arranged for 30 or 60-minute sessions. If
you, your friends, or teammates want to set up private or group session with me or with one of the VRSTC tennis staff
members call or email me with your request. For those of you that play in USTA league competition coaching sessions
for your team or individual player is available.

I’m very excited and looking forward to the beginning of the summer season. The first ADULT TENNIS CLINICS
