What you will Learn
The course will teach you the fundamentals of the game, all the different shots as well as technique, coordination and movement.
Also, we go over all the rules such as the 2 bounce rule, no volley zone, as well as scoring.
They run over 2 or 3 weeks and last between 1.5 to 2 hours each and all equipment is provided, including the paddles (rackets).
They are taught in small groups of no more than 8 and are a great way of meeting new people too.
