2A Adult Beginner Tennis – Tuesday-SMTennisCollective

This class is designed for adult beginners with some prior tennis experience (approximately 3–6 months) who are looking to improve their technique in a structured, supportive environment. Taught by the USTA award-winning Santa Monica Tennis Collective, players will build on their existing foundation through drills and games that reinforce proper mechanics and movement.Grab a friend or come on your own and meet others at a similar level!

Why This Class: Focused on improving technique and helping players transition toward live play with confidence.

Players will work on refining stroke production—including forehands, backhands, volleys, and overheads—while developing consistency and control. Sessions are designed to bridge the gap between basic fundamentals and live rallying through structured drills and game-based play.

Prerequisite Skills: Players should meet the following criteria:

• Know the basic form of groundstrokes, volleys, and overheads but are not yet able to consistently use correct technique
• Beginning to rally consistently from the baseline (approximately 5-ball rally)
