Tour Elite

This two-hour clinic will focus on training our advanced players using intense stroke drills, conditioning, and hard hitting play. Emphasis will be placed on strategy and technique advancement while match play situations will be used to strengthen the player's mental game. Players should have already played for their high school team or have extensive junior match experience. The sessions are held Saturdays from 12:00-2:00 p.m.

Only the top 24 juniors
from QOSTC qualify
for the Tour Elite Clinic.
By registering for this clinic, you agree to shift to the toplevelgroup of Weekend Warriors from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. if you are not up to the Tour Elite level. Level will be determined by a challenge every few weeks. Please see Brian Fankhauser for clarification.

Clinic Make - Up Policy:
Private make-ups cannot be scheduled. Missed classes can be made up by attending the alternate day clinic held within the same session.
Please print Emergency Release Form completed and returned to the club before or on the first day each clinic for your child. Even if he or she has been in a QOSTC Program, an updated form must be completed. Thank you!
Please keep the following information in mind:
1. No black or hard soled shoes allowed. Most tennis sneakers will not have marks or scratches on the court surface. No chewing gum or containers without secure lids (ie. can soda).
Examples of marking soled shoes that will not be allowed on our courts.
2. 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. We can also custom fit your next racquet, stringing and tax always included. If you already have your own racquet, please put your name on the racquet and cover.
Reasons to buy at Pro Shop
3. If you miss a clinic, please attend the next alternate Saturday program or a weekday clinic. Sessions are not prorated nor do make-ups carry over into the next session. Tour Elite players should mak-up in Weekend Warriors. Weekened Warriors should make-up either in Tour Elite or Weekend Warriors which is held on Thursday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. no reservation necessary.
4 We will always have the clinic except in extreme blizzard conditions; yes, even if it looks like a good day to go sledding!!!
5. If you ever have any questions of technique, tactic, or tennis in general, please ask so we can get you on the right track quickly. Set goals for yourself. Tennis is a progression sport. Be willing to start out slow, gaining form and confidence in your shot. Then practice the correct technique again and again, building your muscle memory.
6. Ball/racquet abuse and obscenities will not be tolerated.
7. Expect yourself to be mentally and physically alert at all times on the court, whether you are hitting a shot or in a line drill. Be prepared and focused for the next opportunity, not dwelling on the last. Please be sure to give the Pro speaking your full attention, especially when we say "pick up the tennis balls!"
8. There are many other playing opportunities like Junior Court Time Specials, Summer Team Tennis, Summer Camps, USTA Junior Team Tennis and tournaments. Just ask if you are interested.
9. We have complied a great staff of teaching professionals. Pro's who have big time match experience and Pro's who have coached great players. Get the most out of us and you and your opponent will see the improvement in your game. Please complete the client information card at the front desk if your information has changed so you will have all tennis updates emailed to you.
10. All clinic payments are due in full upon registration. Clinic renewals are not automatic. To continue in another session, please sign-up as soon as possible at the front desk.
