Hello there ladies!!! So in honor of the fact that teaching ladies is BY FAR my favorite part of this job, I thought we would add a page to our website JUST for you :-), so anytime you want to see what is going on for ladies you don't have to sort through all the kids stuff :-). Goodness knows we already do enough of that :-)
OPTIONS FOR LADIES THIS SPRING AND SUMMER:
LADIES BEGINNER TENNIS - This is for you if you have either never picked up a racket or have played in the past and are so rusty that you would like to spend some time reviewing/relearning all the strokes and how to play. The first few weeks will be spent learning how to play, and then you will start spending an increasing amount of time actually playing doubles, so that by the end you are a real tennis player :-). These classes are probably the most fun we have - it is so fun to watch ladies come out who are so nervous and have no idea what to expect, and then to watch them start having fun and making friends and laughing - it NEVER fails that ladies love these classes (and so do the coaches!!). PLEASE give it a shot if you have absolutely ANY thought that you might enjoy it - YOU WILL!!!!
Tuesdays 7:30-9 pm March 20-May 8 Chickahominy Middle School
LADIES ADVANCED BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE TENNIS - This class is for ladies who have already taken the beginner tennis class, or who have some experience at playing tennis already. We spend a bit of time at the beginning with some warm-ups and drills, and then play doubles for the rest of the time. SUCH a fun time - a great work-out and a great time with other ladies!!!
Tuesdays 7:30-9 pm March 20-May 8 Chickahominy Middle School
DAYTIME WEEKDAY LADIES CLASSES - We also offer some classes during the day during the week for those of you who are at home or have some flexibility during the day. We have classes on Monday and Wednesday morning in the Atlee area, and then on Friday mornings out in Ashland. Contact me directly if you are interested in any of these classes at jennifer.dowda@gmail.com.
CARDIO TENNIS!!! Cardio Tennis is a new, fun, group activity featuring drills to give players of all abilities an ultimate, high-energy workout, all while listening to music! It includes a short dynamic warm-up, a cardio workout, and a cool down phase. The majority of the Cardio Tennis program is the “workout” phase, which should last 30-50 minutes. Most of this portion will include fast-paced drills where I feed the balls to players. The purpose is to find ways to keep players moving and challenged… all while having fun! We will be offering this AWESOME new class on Saturday mornings at Chickahominy Middle - 8:30-9:30 am, 9:30-10:30 am, and 10:30-11:30am. We might have the 9:30am class be a mother-daughter class and the 10:30 am be co-ed - let us know if you are interested!!
SUMMER TIME!!!
