Program details
Registration & scheduling
There is no set schedule yet. You input your availability; before the session starts, we hand-create groups based on age, level and availability.
Pricing
Pricing is based on session length. Spring, summer and fall run for 11 weeks, with one class per week at your desired duration: 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours.
Groups & equipment
Group classes have a 4:1 ratio. Junior Academy players, 10 and under and relatively new to the game, usually use red balls over a 36-foot net or space. Junior Extreme players, 8 and over with at least two sessions of experience, usually use orange balls over a 60-foot net or space. Academy X is invite-only for more experienced, committed players pursuing competitive tennis.
Rainouts
59th Street, 94th Street and Water Mill classes are outdoors during spring, summer and fall. We notify you by text or email if rain cancels a class, with as much notice as possible; last-minute rainouts can happen. Rainouts can always be made up and do not count toward personal makeups. They cannot be refunded or used as credit toward future sessions.
Personal makeups
Players are allowed two personal makeups for missed classes. Contact our team to book. Makeups do not expire and can begin during week 2 of the session. They are added classes only, not eligible for refunds or credit toward future classes.
