Wednesday Tennis Clinic

For many years, our friend and tennis pro, the late Jerry McConnell conducted a free, very popular, 90-minute tennis clinic.   Previously held at the Creekside Tennis Complex, the clinic is now held on Court 1 and 2 at the Buckeye Tennis Complex and is overseen by Eugene Ovalle.

This event has proven very popular and has given many beginning players and those new to Rossmoor an introduction to tennis at Rossmoor.  This event is open to all Rossmoor residents and their accompanied guests.   You need NOT be an RTC member to attend, do NOT need to sign up, and WILL be warmly welcomed by Eugene Ovalle (Tennis Instructor), and a number of the Wednesday Tennis Clinic loyal attendees.   This event is conducted year-round (weather permitting) each Wednesday morning from 10:00 AM until approximately 11:30 AM on Court 1 at the Buckeye Tennis Complex.

How The Clinic Works

Using courts 1 and 2, Eugenio Ovalle conducts tennis classes for the first half of the clinic for all player levels.  Periodically Eugene rotates through the fundamentals of tennis in a series of lessons over 10 weeks [see below]. Other times, waiting players are queued by Eugene according to a variety of factors which allows attending players to meet and play with several different people each Wednesday morning.  It is not only a tennis clinic where you can improve your game, it is really an easy-going, fun social morning.

Why We Love It

This event has welcomed countless players into the Rossmoor tennis community.    Old timers value this event because it doesn't require sign-ups, doesn't require locating subs, is always enjoyable, and because its a valued Rossmoor tennis tradition. Now the clinic offers free tennis lessons for beginners looking to learn the fundamentals as well as more experienced players looking to hone their game.  Come on out, you'll enjoy it.
