Morning Tennis Lessons

In an effort to improve the quality of the tennis lesson experience, lessons have been further broken down from three lesson groups to four lesson groups. This will allow instructors to give more emphasis on specific skills within those groups.

All lessons are taught at the Glastonbury High School Tennis Courts.

Level 1 is for those with little or no tennis experience.
Level 2 is for those who can hold a racquet properly, understand the basics of forehand and backhand groundstrokes and can hit at least three times from the center service line.
Level 3 is for those who understand the basics of rallying, can hit forehand and backhand groundstrokes at least three times from the baseline with both, can perform the basics of a serve, and know how to keep score.
Level 4 is for those who consistently rally forehand and backhand four to six times from the baseline, can serve, can hit overhead and approach shots, and understand the rules of the game and proper tennis etiquette.
