Where?:  Big City Pickle (Gold Coast) - 309 W. Oak Street. The class runs 4:00-6:00pm every Wednesday for seven weeks

Parking?:  There is meter and street parking surrounding the courts.

What equipment will I need?:  You will need to have either tennis shoes or some sort of shoes that have a flat bottom, without tread.  We also encourage you to wear something different on your feet than what you will play in.  You will also need to have your own racket.

What if I have a team and one of us cannot make it?:  The first option is to find someone to sub.  If you do not want to or cannot, we still encourage you to show up.  There is still the instruction portion and the way the play portion is structured we can work around teams of one.  Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way to make up the class if you cannot find a sub and cannot make it.

What is the format?:  The format for the tennis program is one hour of high energy drills & instruction followed by one hour of play.

I signed up as an individual, so who do I play with?:  About half of the registrations are teams of two and the other half are individuals.  We will pair up the individuals to form a team of two during the play portion.

What if I have my own team and only want to play with my partner?:  The point of this session is to not only play tennis, but work on and improve individual skills and doubles techniques, while also offering a fun, social atmosphere.  The only real way to get better is to play with different styles and different skill levels.  You will always play with your partner, unless one of the players do not show up, then we will shuffle things around a little.

What if there is really bad weather?:  If there is conflict ever we may cancel.  We will get in touch with you via text message if there is a cancellation.  You can also call our weather hotline at 312-733-7100 and you will be given the instructors phone number the first night as well.  It is important that we have your cell phone number in case of a cancellation.
