program is designed for the player that has completed
the advanced beginner classes and wants to begin playing

league play by the fall ALTA season to form teams at
all age groups. The cost is $65 per six week session.
We
have a program for kids that have played few seasons
of league play and are starting to show interest in
playing for school teams, entry level tournaments or

mornings with plans to offer another class during the
week.
