Furthermore, one need never worry about getting in a game before dark; Glenmore’s tennis facilities include high-quality lighted courts so that no match will be called on account of darkness.
Indeed, Glenmore’s Tennis Center offers year-round events for players of all ages and all levels, from private and group lessons to junior clinics, evening socials and weekend tournaments. Fun and fitness await, so get out your racquet, come down to Glenmore’s Tennis Center and serve away!
Tennis Professional
Jason Cole, Glenmore’s Tennis Professional, holds professional affiliations with the USPTA and USRSA. His enthusiasm and knowledge has lead to the growth and success of his programs with adults and junior players. He stresses the importance of fun but emphasizes that, with improved technique, the game of tennis becomes easier and more enjoyable. “Once you see players enjoy hitting a tennis ball, they can begin to really challenge themselves and enjoy the game of tennis.”
Jason’s extensive teaching experience enables him to coach players to a higher level by tailoring instruction to individual needs and goals. His teaching philosophy is to make people better with what they have: “Unless there is a major concern or players want to change completely, they can work to improve their skills and become better players.”
Creating a social atmosphere where people can feel welcome and improve their level of play is the hallmark of a successful tennis program. This is the goal of Jason and his staff.
The Children’s Tennis Clinic
The Tiny Tots program is continuing, and the children ages 4-6 have made great strides in their techniques of the game.
Other classes being offered include Junior Development and the Adult clinics.
