RIRC Group Lessons

Separated by level, our weekly group tennis lessons and clinics are active and fun while providing the best teaching experience possible. They are geared towards preparing our participants for match play, whether social or competitive. We focus on doubles strategy, communication and technique. Fast-paced drills and live points help create a fun atmosphere for learning. Clinics are separated by level.

Group sizes vary depending on the specific program with a maximum of 6 players per court. Select the program you’re interested in for specific details. There is no specific start or stop date for any program. The class will be canceled the day before if less than two people are signed up at that time. If only one player signed up, they will be offered a private lesson at a member rate during the scheduled class time.

It is easy to sign up, complete a profile here or call our friendly front desk and they will be happy to sign you up.

If you are new to the club and would like to set up a complimentary evaluation/orientation to find out which is the right program for you please contact our teaching professionals at rircadultprograms@advantagetennisclubs.com.

Adult QuickStart for Beginners and Advanced Beginners

The RIRC Adult QuickStart Program is designed for beginners and advanced beginners to gain a better understanding of tennis through an innovative and progressive curriculum with the goal of getting players rallying sooner and having more FUN! The “backbone” of our program is a 6-week session where students will work on all the strokes, basic strategy, and beginning play. Get in the game with this 1 ½ hour class. (You are allowed to makeup up to two classes per series. Those who have extenuating circumstances may contact the club for more makeup options. No refunds once the series has started.)

The cost of six continuous weeks of Level 1 or Level 2, 9 hours of instruction, is $259. Class size is 6-8 students/court  per instructor.

Level 1 is for very beginners, or those that know a little tennis. This level concentrates on comfort with the racquet, forehand, backhand, serve and rallying with another player.

Level 2 is for those who have progressed from Level 1 and want to further their tennis skills and learn tactical play, improve their stroke technique, and practice basic singles and doubles strategy.

Our new Level 3 program is for those who have successfully completed Level 2 but aren’t quite ready for 2.5 Drill and Play. This level is only 5 players to a court for 5 weeks (instead of 6) and is $339 for the 7.5 hours of instruction. In this class you will become familiar with all of the games and drills that you would encounter in our entry level Drill and Play groups.

2.5 Drill & Play
Get back in the game and see what you’re missing; fun, excerise, socializing, oh yeah, and tennis! Come out and take a clinic from one of, if not the best Adult Programs in the city!

The 2.5 Doubles Clinic is recommended for the low intermediate player who understands court positioning, is capable of sustaining rallies, serving, playing games and able to keep score. With up to six people on a court, our fast paced drills and games will help you refine your strokes and gain valuable matchplay experience.

3.0-3.5 Drill & Play
Drill & PlayDrill & Play Clinics are designed for the intermediate and advanced intermediate (3.0-3.5) players. These clinics are among our most popular Adult Programs. You can expect a good workout where you focus doubles skills, strategy, and technique. Each class includes at least one hour of instruction with match play for the remainder of the class. There is a maximum of six students per class.

4.0 Drill & Play
4.0 Doubles ClinicThe 4.0 Clinics are designed for the advanced players, with solid, well-rounded games. These classes are challenging and fast moving. You get a great workout while focusing on doubles court coverage, advanced strategy, and placement. There is a 6:1 student to teacher ratio in the 4.0 Clinics.

If you had a wonderful time, you may purchase 8 clinics for the price of 7 from the front desk. It’s not consecutive, so keep emailing me or my staff no more than a week in advance.

Members may reserve two weeks in advance. Non-members may reserve one week ahead.
