Tennis Lessons
Tennis Lessons at Bernard Middle School with Coach Mark Platt
Participants will learn the fundamentals of tennis, including forehand and backhand grip, stance and swing, and how to serve the ball. Instruction includes games like rally tennis and other mini games designed to build overall tennis skills while having fun.
Tennis is held indoors in the Bernard gym during most of the school year. Tennis moves outdoors late May- through September. Coach Mark will prioritize playing outdoors in the fresh air when the weather conditions are favorable for it.
NEW this winter and spring: Tennis for adults!
Join us May 26 for an evening of free play! Meet the instructor, try some drills and connect with our community!
Please note, the MSDR9 employee discount on class registrations cannot be combined with the 60+ discount.
