Then come join the Nomahegan tennis program!
The centerpiece of tennis at Nomahegan are the daily drills. Drills are included in your annual membership dues and are open to all members, of all levels of play and ability!
Drills begin on Tuesday June 25, 2024
Levels:
4.0 Advanced: This player has an overall understanding of the game and can hit with a fair amount of power, control, and/or consistency.
2.5 Intermediate Player: This player has achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth and variety.
2.0 Beginner: This player has played very little or no tennis. We will cover all the fundamental strokes, scoring, and court positioning for singles and doubles with ball-fed drills.
ALL CLINICS FOR THE 2024 SEASON BEGIN ON TUESDAY, JUNE 25.
This is a change due to heavy construction on courts 5 and 6.
Please note that we have added extra adult sessions and at this time members may not sign up for back-to-back clinics or bring guests. Please sign up for adult and kids clinics through Court Reserve.
