I would love for us to schedule group lessons with a tennis pro a couple times this summer (this would be for a fee) if anyone knows a tennis pro that would be interested in helping us.  I am also wanting to do different workouts throughout the summer, ex. sunrise beach run, if athletes are interested.  If anyone has any suggestions for additional activities please let me know!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
