From the Director
Hello again, Plano residents What an amazing and fun-filled summer! It is rewarding to see so many smiling faces at our pools, on our trails, in our parks and at our recreation centers each summer . As always, we are honored to be your preferred provider of wholesome recreational activities
Speaking of recreation centers, did you know Plano’s five recreation centers offer more than 6,000 classes annually? The classes include fitness, fine arts, aquatics, continuing education, and more for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds As we experience the changing of the seasons, I encourage you to come out and try something new this fall with a little help from Plano Parks and Recreation
Our classes and programs are great ways to establish a new fitness routine, try a new hobby, and make new friends . Our adult sports leagues are one such example of combining fitness with fun. Choose from slow-pitch softball, kickball, flag football, and soccer. All skill levels are welcome, and it’s an effective way to blow off some steam after a long workday
I believe the family that plays together stays together Sign up for pumpkin painting night or go head-to-head in our first ever jigsaw puzzle competition at Oak Point Recreation Center You can learn about these and other affordable, family friendly activities on page 26 of this catalog
The brain is another muscle we’re here to help you strengthen Thanks to our group of talented instructors, our educational classes connect people to new cultures, recipes, technology trends, and more every day

INSTRUCTION
The student/coach ratio is 4:1 for all classes ages 5-10. The ratio is 6:1 for classes ages 11 and up. To avoid cancellation of a class, a class may “make” with less than the minimum number of students, but with a reduced number of sessions. Classes at the same level and similar age groups may be combined at the discretion of High Point staff. Any group of two or more players may schedule a private class by contacting High Point staff at 972-941-7170.
Group lessons are very popular and some classes fill very quickly. To assure a continuous chain of instruction, we recommend that students enroll for multiple sessions at the time of initial registration. For example, a student should enroll for a Beginner session in the first session, an Advanced Beginner I group in the second session, and an Advanced Beginner II group in the third session.
10 & UNDER TENNIS
High Point participates year round in the QuickStart Tennis play format, a program designed to help children learn, rally, and play quickly. Using shorter and lighter racquets, balls that are easy to keep in play, and court dimensions tailored to smaller players, youngsters from ages 5-10 pick up the game very quickly. In a short time, young players are able to keep the ball in play and play points just like older and more experienced players. In time, as students’ games improve and as they mature physically, they move to traditional rackets, balls, and courts. QuickStart is a great way to introduce children to the great game of tennis.
ADVANCEMENT FROM COURSE TO COURSE
We encourage players to continue learning and playing in progressively more challenging courses. The goal is to have students playing tennis (in some form) as soon as possible. As a player improves, more course time is spent on point-play like situations. For children, the instructional/play sequence is: Beginner or Pee Wee I lessons (depending on age of child), Advanced Beginner or Pee Wee II lessons, and Future Stars or Pre Junior Development (Play and Instructional Programs), Competitive and High Performance.
For teens, the sequence is Beginner, Advanced Beginner I, Advanced Beginner II, Learn N Play, Future Stars, Competitive and High Performance. For adults, the sequence is: Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Learn and Play, High Point intra-facility leagues, Tennis Competitor of Dallas Leagues USTA Adult Leagues and Metro Leagues.
