Zephyr Cove Tennis Club with second year head pro Dave Nostrant is putting a greater emphasis on getting kids onto the court.

The summer starts with a free session for ages 4-12 on June 9 from 11am-1pm. Registration information for this event will be available soon online.

For more intense instruction in June there will be two four-day camps divided into three age groups. It’s possible to sign up for one or both sessions. Registration is online. July dates will be July 9-12, July 16-19 and July 23-25. Times, prices and registration will soon be posted on the club’s website.

June sessions are:

·       June 11-14 and June 18-21

Ages 4-5, 1:30-2:15pm, $30 per four-day session

Ages 6-8, 3:30-4:30pm, $40 per four-day session

Ages 9-12, 4:30-5:45pm, $50 per four-day session.

Nostrant’s philosophy is to impart the love of the sport into youngsters, while helping them achieve the basic understanding so they can then play on their own, and then to have more experienced players learn the nuances of the game.
