MARCH PRO SHOP PROMO

Our Pro Shop offers a variety of items for you or the tennis player in your home. Each month we will spotlight something we think is of great value.

KEEP IT FRESH

As a general rule, you should re-string your tennis racket each year as often as you play per week. If you play twice per week, you should restring your racket twice per year. All strings gradually stretch and lose their resiliency or go dead, even if you play infrequently.

Strings are just like players — they don’t perform at their best when they’re fatigued. When strings break down, they lose liveliness, produce a less dependable ball, and force the user, even unknowingly, to adjust swings to compensate.

The April Pro Shop Special will be $5.00 off all stringing jobs PLUS a FREE grip! Spring is a great time to tune up your racket with a fresh set of strings.

GET MOVIN' WITH CARDIO TENNIS

Cardio Tennis uses your favorite sport to give you the best aerobic workout you’ve ever had! We’ll start with a warm-up, then move into a cardio workout and cool-down. You’ll sweat to music, hit lots of balls, and focus on your fitness! Players of all skill levels are welcome. Participants can burn more calories than in an hour of playing singles or doubles. Cardio tennis helps you improve your skills while getting a great workout. Join us Fridays at noon.

Fridays: 12:00 - 1:00 PM
$15 for members
