Last week and year end barbecue!

Hi everyone,

We have one more week of academy left, and we will look to make it as fun as possible for the kids.

Tomorrow, on June 11th we have the year-end barbecue and the one-point tournament for a prize, for all the academy kids. The one-point tournament will start at 4pm so if you would like to participate in it, try to arrive a little before 4pm (3:45pm). Right after the one point tournament there will be the barbecue for all the academy kids at 5pm.

Next week we will be giving out year end reports and information packages about next year. If you have any questions about next year programs please contact the tennis office: tennis@ontarioracquetclub.com

We will also have a few make up days available for all the kids on the week starting June 20th. Please look for an email as to which days the makeups will be that week.

Thanks to all the kids in the program for a  good academy year and we hope to see you guys back the next year.

Have a good summer,

Drago

Week 33

Hi everyone,

This week we will continue to do drilling in the first part of practice, and then either singles or doubles points for the second part of the practice.

Just a reminder to everyone that we will have the ORC academy year end barbecue this coming Saturday June 11th. Everyone is invited and there will also be a one point tournament.

Week 32

Hello everyone,

We are coming towards the end of the season and since we have not played that many sets or doubles throughout the year, we will be doing more of that in the coming weeks.

First part of the practice we will be doing drills and reviewing the stuff we have worked on all year, and then the second part of the practice, we will be playing singles sets, and possibly some doubles if the numbers work out, and looking to see how the kids are applying the stuff we worked on.

Week 31

Hello,

As mentioned last week, we are working on having kids be agressive and try to come to the net to finish the point off. We will be doing different rally and point situations than last week and we will be looking to keep it as interesting as possible for the kids.

Again, this week's forecast looks pretty cloudy, especially for Wednesday and Thursday so please be on the lookout for any last minute program cancelations through your email.

Holiday weekend

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder for those that do not know, there is no classes this Saturday, and Monday due to the holiday.

Have a good long weekend,

Drago

Week 30

Hello everyone,

So the bubbles are down and we will be playing outside from now on. Please check your emails regularly for updates on the weather and if the programs have been canceled or not especially on days when it had rained earlier in the day.

During the next two weeks, we will try to get the kids used to outside conditions and we will teach them how to deal with the wind and sun better. We will be practicing coming to the net at the right time, and finishing the point off at the net.

Week 29

Hi everyone,

One bubble is down and the other bubble is coming down this week. Starting this week we will be outside so we ask that all the kids bring long sleeve clothing since the temperatures are not going to be too high. Also please check the ORC twitter account if there is rain to see if there are any program cancelations. Again since we willl have reduced number of courts we ask that kids show up on their regularly scheduled days, and that any make ups they have, can be done starting the following week.

This week again we will have the kids play a lot of points from many different situations, and we will be drilling while keeping things fun.
