SPA Offers Introductory Lesson for Beginners

Shawne Cryderman

Any SaddleBrooke resident is welcome to attend this introductory lesson. The focus of the introductory lesson is to allow people of all ages and skills to have the opportunity to get on the court and play this fun, phenomenal, full of good time’s game.

At the end of the intro lesson, participants will have the knowledge of the basics of the game and be encouraged to join SPA and continue with the Assisted Play program.

The only prerequisite or “must have” for the intro lesson is an interest in learning a new sport and the desire to have fun and do your personal best. You do not have to be a member of SPA to take the intro lesson. SPA will have a table at the RAC Fair on Saturday, Jan. 25 where you can register and learn more about the fastest growing sport for active adults in America!
