What to Expect at Your First Lesson

If you have never played tennis or it has been years since you picked up a racket, your first lesson is built around making you comfortable. Hasani starts with a short conversation about your goals, whether that is fitness, fundamentals, or getting ready for league play. From there, you will work through basic grip, footwork, and ball-feeding drills at a pace that fits your level. You do not need to bring your own racket for your first lesson, and athletic shoes with non-marking soles are all that is required for the court. By the end of your first session, you will have a clear sense of the technique to work on next.

How much do adult tennis lessons cost at the YMCA of Greater Montgomery?

30-minute sessions are $30 for members and $40 for non-members. One-hour sessions are $50 for members and $70 for non-members. Pricing is per session, with no long-term package required.

Are these lessons good for adult beginners?

Yes. Lessons are open to all skill levels, from first-time players to advanced. Instruction is led by Hasani Simmons, a USPTA and Safe Sport-certified coach who works with adults at every level on technique, footwork, ball control, and match strategy.

How do I sign up for an adult tennis lesson?

Adult tennis lessons are by appointment only. Contact Adam Schrott at 334-271-4343 or aschrott@ymcamontgomery.org to book a 30-minute or 1-hour session at a time that works for you.

Should I book a 30-minute or 1-hour session?

30-minute sessions are a good fit for focused drills, fitness, or a quick technique tune-up. 1-hour sessions give you more time for warm-up, instruction, and live-ball practice, which makes them a better fit for beginners learning the fundamentals or players working on match play.

Do I have to be a YMCA member to take adult tennis lessons?

No. Adult tennis lessons are open to both YMCA members and non-members. Members do save on every session ($30 vs $40 for a half-hour, $50 vs $70 for a full hour), so frequent players generally find a membership pays for itself quickly.
