Tennis
isn't just for kids. We have Adult Clinics as well.
A couple of important things to know about our junior
clinics:
- All players must
have a completed and signed medical release form in order to participate in any clinic.
- All players wishing to walk to or from clinics must have a completed "Permission
to Walk" form on file with MTA before the beginning of the session.
- All clinics have a four-player minimum in order to run. If class minimums are
not met, players will be offered the opportunity to move to the same class on another day, or to substitute private or semi-private
lessons at the same time.
-
Players may not move up or down levels in order to accomodate schedules.
- Little Stars and Super Stars clinics have a 6 player maximum per pro. All other
junior clinics will have an 8 player maximum per pro if 2 courts are used, a 6 player maximum per pro if only 1 court is used.
- All junior clinics (excluding summer camps) must be paid
for at the start of the first class of a session. Acceptable payments are cash, checks made out to Midwood Tennis Academy,
or online invoicing through PayPal.
