Tennis (Ages 18+), Beginner and Intermediate
Beginning Tennis:
Our beginner class focuses on stroke technique and pure fundamentals from the perspective of a player who has never held a racquet. This will include dead ball feeding (drop-and-hit, tossing, and coach feeding) with some live ball rallying. Covering forehands, backhands, volleys, overheads, and serves, participants will have learned all the major building blocks of tennis. The class culminates with match play and participants learning to play actual points and scoring for sets. This is a great course to learn if you have never played before, or if you want to better understand and review the core fundamentals of the game. There are NO make up classes on an individual basis for a missed class.

Yoga (Ages 18+)
YOGA
Lunchtime yoga is an opportunity to provide your body with some gentle movement, strengthening, stretching and balancing.

The focus is on calm reconnection with ourselves rather than working out. Please bring a mat and a water bottle. This class will be held at the School of Kinesiology on the 4th floor in room 4099.
