Tennis in the desert
Are you looking to escape the spring rain or the fall cold? We’re ready to start the summer and end the year with a warm tennis destination adventure. We’re heading down to Indian Wells, CA - where the average temperatures will be around 78°, sunny skies, with tennis courts as immaculate as the day they were painted. But not just any courts: we’ll be playing at the home of the one and only BNP Paribas Open.
Over the course of 3-days, you’ll participate in instructional drills led by Tennis Professional Jai Nettimi, the Director of Tennis at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Along with our Head Pro, Justin Kinney, they will be helping you hone your skills through a variety of drills to master our groundstrokes, net-game, service game, footwork and strategy. You’ll spend 2 hours on court every morning with these coaches, followed by match-play competition in the afternoon where you’ll be able to put your training to work. Suitable for adult players at any skill level, this is such a rare opportunity to “Play where the Pros Play” and experience fun in the sun.
