11 Ways to Improve Your Tennis Game at San Jose Swim & Racquet Club – Year ‘Round…

The following are 11 ways to improve your tennis game at the San Jose Swim & Racquet Club:

1. Private hour and half hour lessons. These lessons can include technical work and hitting with the pro during that time to see if the technical and strategy changes work.
2. Semi private lessons. Get together and start working with a team mate or best friends.
3. Team Practices. At practice learn how to use new strategies, unusual doubles formations and new shots to win.  Can be all strategy and match play.
4. Clinics for 3-4-5-6 players. Work on game play situations and strokes (only if needed to execute the strategy).
5. Drop-In Clinics. These clinics are available most every day of the week for all skill levels.  Just show up and get a practice – no game arranging necessary.
6. Free ball machine use. We have Playmate and Little Tennis Twist machines.
7. Tennis Socials against a variety of players. We host a lot of tennis socials throughout the year such as multiple fund raisers, the Wooden Racquet tournament, and for themes like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc.
8. Practice balls. Baskets of balls are available for members to practice serves, drill or train with another member.
9. Practice wall. It’s been undefeated since 1956.  Everyone grew up on the wall – great for conditioning and repetition of strokes.
10. USTA match play. We have singles, doubles and mixed on a year round basis.
11. Daily and weekly member. We have court reservations for walk-on and reserved courts on which to play and train.

Drop-In Clinics – The drop-in clinics present lots of opportunities to experience live ball situations in both repetitive and competitive match play within the clinics. The variety of players in the clinics also provide lots of live ball experiences with a variety of players. (Players hit close to 800-1,000 balls in the 1 ½ hour clinic.)

Meet New Players - Players meet new players in the drop-in clinics and often schedule hitting times with each other using the drills they used in the clinics to improve their skills.

+Only the Saturday 10-11:30  Drop-In (everyone’s favorite) ever has more than 4-6 players in a clinic and on 2 courts. In fact that there is usually 2-3 staff professionals in the clinics provide lots of individual help and hitting partners in the clinic.

Private Lessons - Any private lesson may involve adjustments in technique or strategy and then live ball hitting with the pro to determine immediately the students ability to execute the adjustments suggested by the professional.

**The amount of the hitting or instruction is determined by the wants or needs of the student. The private lesson may be a total time of live ball play with the pro. The pro may offer suggestions to improve the students technical or strategical skills.
