Yes, the players only need their own clothes, racquet, and some water and snacks if needed! The rest is on us!

Booking & Scheduling

All of our coaches are certified by official organizations and tennis/pickleball associations, and furthermore, they are CPR certified so they can attend any emergency, potentially save the player’s life, and attend to any injuries or incidents. 

Each lesson has an age, level,and ski-level, so the content is adapted to match the players’ skills, physical condition, and age. We tend to group players taking into account all these factors.

Yes! We offer both group clinics, private lessons, and semi-private lessons, too. 

The group clinics must be paid before the beginning of the season, or before coming to the first lesson, if the season has already started. 

As for the private lessons, we offer a bundle of 13 prepaid privates, which ensures a more solid, constant development, but you can also book private lessons individually that must be paid on the day that the private lesson takes place. 

We offer private and semi-private lessons in all of our locations. If you are interested, feel free to reach out to the program director of your area director!

The programs and the areas have assigned coaches, all of them certified and fully committed to developing your kids in the sport. The program curriculum is prepared by the program director, who ensures that all of the head coaches and assistant coaches are aligned on the program goals and methodologies.

Of course! We cooperate with each home owner associations to offer more competitive rates to the residents of the neighborhood.*

*Please keep in mind that some home owner associations do not allow, per ther policies, to have non-residents on court. In some cases, a special pass must be purchased to be able to join the activities or program that take place in the home owner association.

If you are new to the neighborhood or if you never played with us, the coaches may offer you upon their discretion a try-out that will be paid for if you join the program.

Yes, parents are welcome to stay and watch. However, it is not recommended that the parents talk to the kids during the lesson so they do not get distracted from the coaches’ instructions, the drills,and the dynamic of the class.

We offer our players the opportunity to sign up for as many or a few weeks as they want to. However, the Summer Camp pricing system rewards the players who sign up for more than 3 weeks with lower rates per each week. 

You can find out more here.

No evaluation is needed! The programs we offer at the HOAs are recreational, except for the tennis teams. The only  requirement is to match the age of the grou

Depending on the program, yes. We have group clinics and programs for more experienced players, both kids and adults, and programs for beginners.

We do not offer discounts for packages or siblings discounts. However, upon the program directors’ discretion, we may eventually offer early-sign up discounts if the players are enrolled by a certain date.

Yes! We offer outdoor programs in the Spring, Summer and Fall Seasons at the HOAs, and in the Summer in McLean! The HOAs do not own indoor facilities, and we can only offer programs there in the warmer seasons. 

The rest of the time, we offer indoor lessons only in McLean, at MRHC.

Yes! Not only do we offer lessons for players of all ages, but also for each level, skill, background and experience. Furthermore, we have a junior pathway program at McLean that helps kids progress from beginner to advanced players, specifically designed to improve their game, but also their physique, fitness and athleticism.

Yes! We hold outdoor clinics and offer private lessons at different home owner associations across Virginia and Maryland in the Spring, Fall and Summer seasons. These facilities only have outdoor courts.

Yes, we do!

However, we usually stick to the HOAs recommendations and facilities, especially for the Summer offerings. Although we do not offer Summer Camps options at all of the HOAs, we do hold these camps in at least one location in both Centreville, Maryland, and Sterling.

Yes! We offer Summer Camps in all of our locations. 

For the kids who are regularly in the Black and White Programs there is a mandatory participation of at least 4 weeks out of the 10 that the McLean Camp lasts, be it in the morning, the afternoon or the whole-day camp. The kids in the Green & Red Program are allowed to sign up for as many weeks as they wish. 

The Summer Camps take place between June and August, in three different schedules: morning, afternoon, and whole-day camp

Besides that, we offer indoor Thanksgiving and Winter Break Camps in McLean at MRHC’s facilities.

We also have Summer Camps at the HOAs, and additional, one-time Meet-the-coach events or End-of-Season events.

We offer trial lessons whose payment is due once the enrollment is confirmed, and it is to be paid once the final invoice for the season sign-up is issued. *

*The seasonal fee already includes the trial fee, if the season hasn’t started, or it will be prorated if the season has already started.

Yes! At the beginning of the seasons we usually hold an easy-going, laid-back event in which the players and residents can hang out a bit with the coach. It’s conceived as a Meet-the-coach event, where the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed and informal, and it does not have the structure of a lesson. 

Yes! Some of our coaches speak, besides English, Spanish and French.

The program directors or our admin team will reach out to you via email or sms as soon as it is confirmed that the lessons must be cancelled due to the weather.

New players must be evaluated by one of our coaches if they want to sign up for the MRHC’s Black, White or Green Program. Kids signing up for the 8u/Red Program do not require evaluation; they can sign up for a group with available spots after signing the policies and pay the participation fee. For the other 3 programs, the kids must sign the policies and pay the participation fee, both if they are new to the program or if they signed up in previous seasons. 

For the other locations, kids and adults must pay the participation fee and meet the lessons requirements for age and level, besides being residents of the Community.

The lessons are 60 minutes, 90 minutes or 2 hours long based on the program, the season, and the location. In the Summer Camps, the schedule is either from 9 am to 1 pm in the morning sessions, and from 2 to 5 pm in the afternoon

We hold 3 outdoor sessions, and their approximate duration is as follows:

Spring Season: March-June

Summer Season: June-August

Fall Season: August-November*

Winter Season: no lessons held due to the weather and the lack of natural light. 

*In some facilities without lights at the courts, the Fall Season may end as early as October.

Typically, the HOAs Summer Camps last between 5 and 9 weeks.

Provided the make-up requirements are met, the make-up allowance for players at the HOAs is 2 make-up per season.

*The make-up lessons must be used by the end of the current season, and they are never to be carried over to the following seasons.

Provided the make-up requirements are met, this below is the make-up allowance:

The players in the Black Program are entitled to 3 make-up lessons per season.

The players in the White Program are entitled to 2 make-up lessons per season.

The players in the Green Program are entitled to 2 make-up lessons per season

The players in the Red Program (8u) are entitled to 2 make-up lessons per season.

The players in the Orange Program are entitled to 2 make-up lessons per season.

As for the HOAs, there is a maximum of 2 make-ups per season regardless of the program.

*The make-up lessons must be used by the end of the current season, and they are never to be carried over to the following seasons.

We organize our tennis and pickleball lessons by seasons. We calculate the seasonal rates based on the number of weeks each season has, on how many sessions per week each player attends, and on whether or not the player is a club member or not.

So, for instance, let’s imagine you want to enroll your kid in the Green Program at MRHC, and that you’re not a club member, that is, you do not benefit from the special member rate. 

The upcoming season has 20 weeks (20 lessons). The fee for each session is $50 per hour in the Green Program, whose lessons have a duration of 1.5h. So, the weekly rate is $75. If we multiply 75 by 20, we get the seasonal fee of $1500 for 1.5h lessons per week in the Green Program (for non-members). 

*This example is merely illustrative and it does not reflect the actual rates.

The players coming to private or semi-private lessons must let the coaches know about the absences timely manner, that is, at least 24 hours in advance. If a private lesson is rained out and has already been paid, the coaches will schedule additional make-up lessons as needed.

The drop-in rates must be paid by the beginning of lesson(s) the players will attend.

The participation fees must be paid by the beginning of the season or the lessons the players will attend, if they will come for drop-ins. You can sign up and pay for our lessons here.

For the private and semi-private lessons, this must be paid for the day each lesson takes place. 

You can sign up by emailing or talking to the coach, and they will get you started! For the private, we take PayPal  and Stripe payments.

The players coming to one or several drop-ins lessons, will be entitled to make-up lessons provided the coaches are notified in a timely manner, or in case of adverse weather conditions (i.e. rainout). Please inform the coach at least 24 hours in advance if you know you won’t make it to the class

Yes, there is parking available at MRHC, whereas each HOA has its own parking lots.

We offer tennis lessons for kids aged between 5 and 16 years old, and for adults from 18 years old.

We will grant additional make-up lessons in case of rainout. 

For the McLean’s Summer Camp, we take the kids indoors and do some theoretical coaching with them.

The kids can typically attend in the morning from 9 am to 1 pm, in the afternoon from 2 to 5 pm, and the whole day*

*Exceptions may apply based on the HOAs requirements, preferences or availability.

The tennis lessons, based on the program, have two sections, one for athleticism and fitness, and one for tennis itself. In the red program, the program designed for younger kids, the main focus is to have the kids make their first steps in tennis. In the Green, Black and White Program, there is half an hour of fitness to improve the physical development of the kids. This section can take place at the beginning or at the end of each lesson. 

Our Junior Pathway Program is thought out to make the kids evolve from beginner level to an advanced, competitive level. You can read more here. 

The lessons at the HOA are recreational, but we rely on our highly committed coaches who will get the most out of each player. 

For weekly group clinics, it is required a minimum of 48-hour notice in case of regular absences that are not due to the following:

Injury – Doctors Note Required

Sickness – Doctors Note Required

Death In the Family – Proof Required

In the cases above, make-up lessons will be granted provided the relevant documentation is provided (see above). 

For private lessons, a minimum of 24-hour notice is needed, that must be communicated to the private lesson coach in the mentioned time frame.

Once the lessons are paid in full, there only will be refunds (totally or partially) provided there is force majeure in case of injure, illness or incapacity of the player to keep playing tennis or engage in sports activities.

For classes held at MRHC facilities, there are three payment options: charge on a club member’s account, by credit card, and by cash. The two latter take place at MRHC’s front desk.

The MRHC’s members pay a fee to the club, and that allows them to enjoy, among other perks, lower rates for our classes and programs. 

For the lessons we hold at the HOAs, we only accept card payments.

All of our coaches are certified, have a solid background in tennis and have competed internationally and in college tennis.

The players must bring their own racquet, sport shoes, comfy sports gear, and lots of energy and motivation to learn and have fun while at it!

Water and some healthy snacks are very welcome during and after the lessons, especially during the hotter months!

At the HOAs, each program director is responsible for designing the curriculum, deciding on the offerings, the number of players per lesson, rates, and schedule. 

Typically, there are the following group clinics:

-8u

-9/11 y.o.

-12+

-Adult Tennis Learn to Play

-Adult Cardio Tennis

-Pickleball Beginner & Advanced

-Tennis Teams

Additionally, players interested in private lessons in their neighborhood can agree with the coaches on the schedule for weekly private or semi-private lessons.

We are present in over 10 facilities in Virginia and Maryland!
