Meet Players, Up your Game, Have fun
The RCTA is pleased to offer a variety of group lessons. These programs are a great way to work on your game in an organized, social way. Please read the class descriptions to determine what is best for you. If you are not already an RCTA member, you must become a member before registering. Please look at event locations closely as we are also offering group lessons at 119th Street.
The Fall 2024 session will begin Tuesday, September 3rd and run through Monday, October 14 (not including potential rain makeup sessions). All group lessons are one hour, $45 per week with the exception of Junior Aces (2 hours, $90 per week).
Please note - Junior groups will be offered at 119th Street this session as well. Groups at 119th Street will not be the same exact categories as those listed below, so if nothing at the clay courts seems quite right please check 119! (The page will be updated soon for Fall 2024)
There are no refunds for absences. You may email will@rcta.info to inquire about finding a time for a potential makeup. Makeups are not guaranteed. All makeups must be with the same coach in the same type of group.
If you’d like to register after a group begins, please join and then email will@rcta.info. You may be refunded for weeks that have already passed. You must be an RCTA member to register.
Rain Policy: All group lessons have a rain makeup period of two weeks after the scheduled end date on the registration page. Rain makeups will always take place at the same day and time of the week, unless a specific schedule change is announced. If the group is rained out once, one date is added at the end for rain. If twice, then two. If your group was not rained out or cancelled at all, there are no more dates.
If there are three or more rainouts for a particular group, all players will be refunded at the end of the session for rainouts beyond the first two. Any lesson that was cancelled in advance due to a coach being absent or other unforeseen circumstances is treated as a rainout.
Makeup Policy:
There is no guarantee that absences will always get made up. However, the Riverside Tennis Association aims to provide players to opportunity to find alternate groups to join if they are absent. Absences will not be refunded. Here are the parameters for when a player may do a makeup:
-Makeups must be done at the same location (no moving between 96 and 119)
-Makeups must be done with the same type of group (no switching between Beginner, Intermediate, and Cardio). This applies to Stroke of the Week and Doubles for summer.
-A makeup player can never be the seventh player on the court. If a group has 6 players registered and they all do arrive, the makeup player must allow them the court and may try again at another time.
-Makeups must be done in the same session (no making up spring absences in the summer).
-Players can do a makeup with another coach as long all the above are followed.
-There is no “reserving” a makeup slot based on seeing availability online and asking if the spot can be blocked off for the day.
