WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS WEEK

 

If tennis is the game of choice for your child-or if they would love to try tennis lessons-February 25 will truly be their week: we have four tennis classes starting up! Specifically, we have Terrific Tiny Tennis (ages 5-7), Quickstart Tennis (ages 8-10), Novice Tennis (ages 11-14), and Intermediate Tennis (also ages 11-14). In addition, individual tennis lessons are available any time of the year. If your child's interests run more along musical avenues, we have Melody Piano Beginners (for ages 4-5) starting up, too.

 

The spring brochure (which introduces our spring classes and summer camps) is on schedule for mailbox delivery toward the end of February. Resident registration begins February 27, and registration opens for everyone else on March 12.
