LIVE BALL TENNIS CLINICS
A live ball tennis clinic is a fast-paced group session where a pro feeds balls nonstop and you play quick points in a 2-on-2 format. No serving, just constant movement and rotation between champion and challenger sides. It’s basically cardio plus rally practice with minimal downtime or formal instruction.
These clinics are built for higher-level live ball, mostly USTA 4.0+. Wednesday mixes 3.5/4.0. Text Andrew at (562) 250-4965 a few days ahead with your full name, USTA playing level, and the clinic day/date.

Most clinics are for USTA/NTRP 4.0 and up. One weekly clinic mixes 3.5 and 4.0 (Wednesday). The pace is live ball and geared toward higher-level play. If you’re newer to tennis or still building basics, private lessons are usually the better first step. Once you’re comfortable with the pace, you’ll fit right into a clinic.
Ratings run 1.0-7.0. Quick guide for our clinics:
3.5: Steady moderate shots with some direction, still light on depth/variety. Starting to play net and cover more court; doubles teamwork developing.
4.0: Dependable strokes both sides with direction and depth. Can use lobs, overheads, approaches, and volleys. Serve forces some errors; doubles teamwork shows. Sometimes loses points from impatience.
4.5: Using power and spin, handling pace, solid footwork, varying tactics. Strong first serve, placed second. Can overhit tough balls. Aggressive net play in doubles.
