FREE COME 'N' TRY SOCIAL TENNIS & TENNIS PRACTICE
What is Social Tennis and how does the Tennis Practice program work?
Well, come and sample the programs.
As well as the Practice drills, there will be some serving competitions and fun games such as Round the World and King of the Court.
While catering for high to low level players, Social Tennis is not for absolute beginners. Absolute beginners should enrol in a Beginners Adult Group Coaching Course with the UQ Sport Tennis Centre and attend the Club’s Wednesday Night Practice program. As the Tennis Card is valid until the end of June, new players can still use the card to try out Social Tennis at the end of their coaching course. However, new players are also able to use their Tennis Card to attend Practice in lieu of attending Social Tennis.
The next Adult Group Coaching courses start in April and run for 10 weeks. Courses are run at 4 levels (Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1 & Intermediate 2) with various time options on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday nights and Saturday mornings.
The Adult Group Coaching courses cost $190 for UQ students, $220 for UQ staff & graduates or $240 for the public.
