Adult Tennis Clinics

Our Adult Tennis Clinics are a great place for both beginners and seasoned players to fine tune their strokes and get exercise in a fun and non-competitive atmosphere. Led by Mount Pleasant Tennis Professionals, the clinics take small groups through drills and situational match play. Participants often find that this is a great place to meet other players who become hitting partners and USTA teammates.
