Pickleball & Tennis are for all abilities
Clinics are available to UMD students, faculty, and staff, and community members. Pickleball & Tennis are life skills that can be learned or refined at any age. Our clinics are available for individuals 5 years old to adult. We do offer private and semi-private lessons for tennis. You will learn in a safe and fun environment, and we hope you will become a lifelong player. Tennis clinics and lessons are held at the ERC Tennis Courts, and all equipment is provided for participants. If you have your own equipment, you are encouraged to bring it with you.
Pickleball clinics are great for learning how to play pickleball in a structured, cost effective manner. We set the times and the curriculum, and you join your classmates in working towards set goals. Our clinics are one day classes. You can register for one or as many as you prefer. Clinics fill quickly, so it is recommended that you register early to ensure a spot.
Beginner Clinics: new or novice players that want to learn basic techniques and rules of the game.
