Beginner “Match Play” Clinic
- This clinic is for players who want to build their foundational knowledge and skills, but are still relatively new to the game. You will begin to learn when to hit different shots, beginner strategies and improve on becoming a more skillful player. We also focus on continued learning and enforcement of the rules and scoring. We’ll also improve your court positioning and teach you how to outsmart your opponents.
Advanced Beginner “Match Play” Clinic
- The Advanced Beginner clinic teaches you to be a more strategic player. You’ll gain a greater ability to force your opponents to make a mistake by learning how to hit un-attackable shots and by developing a third shot drop. You’ll also improve your finesse game at the kitchen, aka “winner’s line” and learn how to effectively use the block volley. Plus, we will teach you advanced doubles play strategies while giving you constructive in-game coaching advice.
