Playing tennis in Lake Tahoe can be challenging because it’s not a year-round sport in the basin. This means taking lessons – private or group– is the best way to get the rust off from winter. Instruction is also going to help those who want to advance their game. 

Dave Nostrant, who has been teaching for decades, is in his first year as the head pro at Zephyr Cove Tennis Club. He is filling up the calendar with an array of clinics for various levels.
