South Philadelphia Tennis Association

Winter Start Times begin at 5:00pm. For those who will have to run late, we will have a 5:30 regrouping time. With the darkness upon us earlier, and lights that we wait for the city to replace, this is the best way to give our players the most daylight possible. We will plan for 5:30 arrivals and also on hosting classes as late as possibleible, regardlessss of extra time, untill it is to dark, or lights are fixed.

This is The SPTA’s more advanced program, with a higher intensity and skill level above our introductory level classes. Players should be able to keep up with medium paced and extended rallies and be capable of handling a faster paced shot when needed.

Movement to the ball and positioning is emphasized as well as strategic recognition and execution. Specialty shots are introduced and closing out points in match play situations are routinely practiced as part of the class routine.

Class Deets:
Get ready for a 1.5-hour tennis workout that mixes instruction and point play, all with a fun, fast-paced twist. We’ll dive into high-speed hitting, smart tactics, slick strategies, and the quick reactions, court positioning, and footwork to set up for a quality game of your potential.

Our jam-packed workout includes:

• Striking groundstrokes from the baseline
• Tackling short balls and slice-approach shots
• Nailing those drop shots
• Hitting first and drive volleys
• Perfecting put-away volleys and overheads

You'll get the scoop on the differences between first and second serves, plus learn the biomechanics to strike the ball with all sorts of spins and speeds. We’ll cover the technical motions of the serves that high school and recreational players use, right up to the rituals and breathing tendencies that the pros pull off.

We'll also focus on high-percentage and aggressive returns for both first and second serves, along with key defensive moves to keep you in the game.

Final 30 Minutes:
Wrap up the session by playing with your fellow tennis lovers with some point play, or even a coach-fed game to win a SOLID GOLD TROPHY, …well kind of! After that we finish strong with a good full-body stretch.

What to Bring:
Bring plenty of water and a towel. Also be sure to lace up them sneaks tight, because we’re going to work up a sweat. Remember, "This ain’t no country club!"

Get ready for some Jedi Penguin fun, and an action-packed class that’ll boost your tennis game to new heights. Look forward to seeing you on the court! 💛✈️👁️🐧🎾💪
