Spring is finally here and so is our new spring calendar. Time to put away the skis and haul out those bikes. We have a number of great courses and activities planned for you in this calendar so please take advantage of them to learn new “Skills for Life”. Our winter was a busy one and we thank everyone who came out to support us in our events. Our Family Ski Night and our

Black Jack Ski Day had the biggest turnout in years. Let’s all get up and get active as we move ourselves into those spring and summer months!

TENNIS

Learn to play tennis, or improve your skills with these two workshops

with local pro Cohen Rutherglen. Take one level, or both! Proper

runners or athletic footwear and a water bottle are necessary.

Racquets are available to borrow, but are limited, so having your own

is best.

LEVEL 1.

FAST - Fun Adult Starter Tennis (play and stay initiative) (racquets

available)

Learn to serve, rally, score, and play the net in singles and

doubles. Lessons will consist of proper demonstration of serve,

volley and ground strokes. Players are introduced to a foundation of

skills and the fundamentals of tennis for future success to promote

enjoyment and improvement.

LEVEL 2.

A more progressive approach with instruction and activity focused on

fundamental tactics: keep the ball in play, place the ball (a) to open

court (b) to opponent’s weakness, controlling height for defense and

take the net.

Players will learn about the PAS principles: path, angle and speed of

the racquet. How these elements can impact direction, depth, height,

speed and spin of the ball. This level 2 group will receive demonstra-

tion and instruction on grip, setup, impact point, hitting zone, and

recovery for serves, volleys and groundstrokes.
