Not at all! Our tennis trial session is designed to accommodate players of all skill levels, whether you're picking up a racket for the first time or already have a strong serve.

From the U.S. Tennis Association’s NTRP rating system:

1.0-1.5 New Player: Has no or limited tennis experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.  

2.0 Beginner Player: Needs on-court experience. Has obvious stroke weaknesses but is familiar with basic positions for singles and doubles play.  

2.5 Beginner Player: Learning to judge where the ball is going although court coverage is weak. Can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability.  

3.0 Beginner-Intermediate Player: Fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Needs work on depth and variety.  

3.5 Intermediate Player: Has achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth and variety. Starting to exhibit more aggressive net play and has improved court coverage.  

4.0 Intermediate-Advanced Player: Has dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides plus the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success. May be starting to master the use of power and spins (though tends to over-hit difficult shots). Rallies may be lost due to impatience.  

4.5 Advanced Player: Starting to master the use of power and spins; can handle pace, has sound footwork, can control depth of shots and is beginning to vary game plan according to opponents. Can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. May have played varsity or college club tennis.

Great question! While both options provide a chance to play tennis, the experience and benefits differ significantly.A tennis meetup, typically free or under $15, is exclusively for meetup members. These are often organized at high-school courts without amenities such as bathrooms. It's essentially pickup tennis where you play with whoever shows up, and the experience could be hit or miss depending on the players who attend.

On the other hand, our trial session, priced at $25, offers a more premium and structured experience. These sessions are held at upscale locations such as Georgetown Prep Tennis Center and Rock Creek Tennis Center, where you're guaranteed a match with other players, enhancing the quality of the game.

But there's more. It's not just a game; it's a stepping stone to a larger goal. If your team wins, you advance to one of six regional championships, and if you triumph there, you proceed to the prestigious national championships in Orlando, FL.

So, while a hobby match at a meetup is fun and casual, our league matches are about competition, progression and camaraderie.

The day and time of lessons can vary based on location. When you purchase your trial session, you'll have the opportunity to choose from a range of flexible times at your preferred location. Rest assured, once you choose your slot, your game placement is guaranteed.

If we need to cancel a trial session due to the weather, we will notify you through the contact details you provide when booking. This can sometimes be up to 1 hour before the booking, to give every chance of the weather clearing up to go ahead.

Our trial sessions, as with all our leagues, are designed for adults. Therefore, they are available only for men or women who are 18 years and older.
