Beginner Tennis with Soar Academy


Youth / Recreation -
Fall 2025

The emphasis of this class is to develop enthusiasm for the game of tennis! Taught by University of Northwestern Head Tennis Coach Matt Swigart, the participants in this class should be at the beginner or intermediate level. The focus will be on being able to rally with proper grips and techniques as well as beginning to learn the serve. Increasing the student's athleticism, agility, balance, and fine motor skills will also be a key focal point. Please bring your appropriate sized tennis racket and a water bottle.

**As with all outdoor activities tennis is weather dependent and participants assume the risk that there may be weather related issues. In the event that it is raining or has recently rained and the courts are still wet we will have to cancel that night. It is our policy that if one day gets cancelled we will make every effort to reschedule and communicate that plan as soon as possible. We commit to do all we can to reschedule one cancelled date. If 2 or more dates get cancelled we will only be able to reschedule one date.**
