PRO-INSTRUCTED HIGH ENERGY BALL MACHINE DRILLS – ”It’s like a batting cage but you’re running around.” Portland Tennis Club Patron
Great opportunity for ALL levels and ages to hit and learn. Although a simple concept, ball machine drills offer a great opportunity to provide immediate feedback on stroke production. There is no right or wrong just what happed to the ball, and students should be encouraged to explore the outer ranges of their strokes while dialing it in.
COST: FREE for Residents & Pass Holders / $11.00 for Non-Pass Holders NOTE: If 3 players or less are signed up 24 hours prior to the drill, a pro WILL NOT be assigned, and the ball machine will be set up for patrons to utilize for themselves. Drop-ins are still welcome, however drop-in additions will not affect Pro Assignment as Pro will be determined at the 24 hour mark. If you need to cancel, avoid a late-cancellation fee by withdrawing 24 hours in advance. 9:00-9:15am will be used for Ball Machine take down.
