Adult Clinics
Enjoy your tennis and have fun! Adult clinics are designed to welcome newcomers and improve your tennis in a social group environment. The OTLBC offers a beginner and intermediate clinic, which are both run by the pros.
Adult Beginner Clinic (level 1.0-2.5) - Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-7:00pm
Learn the basic rules and scoring of tennis and the 5 most important strokes: Forehand, backhand, serve, volley and overhead.
Adult Intermediate Clinic (level 3.0-4.5) Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00-6:00pm
Upgrade the 5 most important strokes (forehand, backhand, serve, volley and overhead). Learn simple, powerful strategies, and some specialty shots such as the half volley, return of serve, passing shot and approach shot.
In the event of rain, classes may be cancelled. Rain make-up classes will be scheduled at the end of the clinic session.
Ladders
The OTLBC ladders are an excellent way for members of all levels to meet other players of similar ability and enjoy some friendly competition. Players are grouped in boxes, each with 4-5 players of similar playing ability, and they have three weeks to play each of the others in their box. Then, depending on how those games go, players move up, down, or stay put for the next round. There are boxes for every level from beginner to expert, so everyone can find their level. The ladders are especially helpful to new members.
There OTLBC has two ladders: Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles. Click here for more information on signing-up, arranging matches, and ladder rules.
