Registration for the Lafayette Tennis Indoor Sessions at the Chevy Chase Community Center has lots of spots still
|
This winter we will not have any indoor tennis activities through Flex at Lafayette ES due to lack of space. We have started indoor programs at the Chevy Chase Community Center that will run for 4 weeks until the holiday break on December 21. There will then be a subsequent program starting right after the New Year (Late Winter) on January 7, 2019 also that will go until March 15. This is a great chance to keep tennis skills improving or to introduce tennis at a fun, low key level to rookies. The smaller courts, mini-nets and foam balls make indoor tennis fun. These programs are open to Lafayette ES students (5-12) and other boys and girls in the local neighborhood community. We will be offering optional transportation to and from Lafayette for any students at the school including those in CLS.
|
These are smaller programs that only have 80 spots per session so I suggest registering soon. If you sign up for the Early Winter session it will be prorated since it started last week. I would recommend signing up for both Early and Late Winter sessions now. You can use https://lafayettetennisdmv.jumbula.com to register or go to www.LafayetteTennis.org to get to the same registration site. Do not try to register from a smartphone. Use a browser on a computer or Macintosh.
|
If you have any questions or issues around scheduling, please contact me as soon as you can. Thank you. Paul Rosenbaum, Lafayette Tennis 202 441-0925
