DD&J The View Newsletter (Updated 11.13.25)
Winter Session Now Open
Red Dot Ball & Orange Dot Ball Players ONLY
Hello DD&J Tennis Family,
Over the past few weeks, many parents and players have expressed a strong desire to continue tennis through the winter months. We are excited to support that commitment.
We will offer a 5-week Winter Skills Development Session for Red Ball and Orange Ball players who are truly interested in sharpening their skills and advancing their game. Because this time will focus on serious development and consistency, we will not accept new beginners during this session. This is for returning players who are ready to work.
What to Expect
These sessions will focus heavily on fundamentals and skill mastery. There will be times where we do not hit balls, but instead work on:
Stroke mechanics
Footwork patterns
Grip familiarity
Balance and coordination drills
Rally preparation and consistency
We may ask parents to record portions of practice, so players can complete “homework” drills between sessions. Improvement comes from repetition, not just participation — and your support is important.
Levels: Red & Orange dot ball
Location: Greenview Park – Court 1
Saturdays: November 15,22 & December 6,13,20 (No Clinic 11/29 - Thanksgiving)
Time: 10:00 - 11:30 AM
We will take a winter break and anticipate resuming full clinics late February, depending on weather.
If your child would benefit from private or semi-private lessons, please speak with Coach Domino or Coach Jackie directly. (Note: private lesson scheduling may be limited over the holiday season.)
