Most Famous For: During the 2006 Legg Mason Tennis Classic Tournament, Brian was selected to participate in a skills consistency exhibition after the Men's Semifinal Match. In front of a crowd of thousands, he made it to the top 3 contestants chasing down ground strokes hit from Wayne Bryan (father of world #1 Doubles team). The crowd went crazy from the close "gets" Brian made running from way outside the doubles side lines back and fourth again and again! Out of the near capacity crowd an estimated 50 QOSTC patrons were witness to Brian's tennis highlight!

Brian's most famous student: Arnav Dhingra

Arnav has also trained at the USTA's National Training Center in Boca Raton Florida on full scholarship. His national ranking in the 10's was as high as 28. However Arnav (age 9) is commited to playing only 12's events. In August 2009, Arnav placed 3rd in a National Invitational Tournament held in Atlanta.

Payments
Must be paid in full upon registration.  Make sure to get a receipt when you pay.  Visa, MasterCard or check/cash accepted.  TNT participants receive the first right of renewal to register for the next session as long as they are paid in full by the end of the clinic on the last day of the current session. 

Make Ups
We can no longer "guarantee" any make ups because most clinics are preregistered (full).  Please try to get your own substitute or person on the clinics waiting list that would gladly reimburse you for your spot.  If one week or less before your anticipated miss, leave me a voice message ext.14 and we will do our best to find a sub.  Sometimes, potential clients are looking to try a clinic and would pay for one time, then we could give you a "make up  credit."  If we cannot find a sub and you still have not found someone to fill your spot, then your group just got a better ratio and we cannot give you a "make up credit."  If you call or don't call the club the same day as your clinic or the evening before or after to tell us of your miss, no matter what the reason (kids, sickness, injury, work, car, traffic, weather, social, overslept, forgot, decided to go skiing....or any other event) please do not ask for a "make up credit."   Even though these unanticipated or anticipated events might not be within your control, it should not effect the club's income and thus the professionals wages.  In most cases, when you give me a weeks notice and/or before a session begins, I will work with you towards a make up time within your schedule. We do guarantee, however, you will get the best clinic for the value.

Make Up Credit
This could be used towards a TGIF Drills, Monday Nite Drills or we can call you to make up on an alternate clinic time when someone else gives the same courtesy of notice.  "Make up credit" expire at the end of each season or 12-weeks, which ever is longer.

Inclement Weather
Inclement Weather for tennis can be defined as when the club closes due to severe weather or when the courts are to wet to play.  Call the front desk 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to the clinic time to see if it is "on" or "canceled."  If the clinic is canceled the session will be extended by one week. 

Sign-ups
Clinic renewals are not automatic.  Each session has a new sign-up sheet at the front desk.  TNT Adult clinics are usually a maximum four to one ratio except certain premium or prime time clinics which are a five to one ratio over the session/season, so reserve your spot early. 

Don't Forget
Challenge ladder matches (outdoor only), ball machine court time, TGIF Drills, and the pro shop specials are other ways to improve your game.  Make sure you are on our email list so you won't miss out on the next special event!

Pro Shop Services
A reminder that when it comes to new tennis equipment, the QOSTC Pro Shop can sell any racquet, bag, or shoes for less than Sports Authority or Dick's.  Please review "Reasons to Purchase a Racquet at QOSTC Pro Shop"  so you will be an informed consumer.  We can also custom fit your next racquet, stringing and tax is always included.  We appreciate a chance to sell you tennis products and services.  Any retail store or Internet site other than a pro shop has no interest in "growing the game" of tennis to give you and children more opportunities in the sport for a life time.
