The elite Cañas Tennis Academy now affiliated with the legendary Turnberry Isle Miami resort is proud to offer locals a new afterschool program available exclusively at the Turnberry Isle Yacht Club Tennis Center. Parents can choose from a junior afterschool program for ages 10 to 18 that is designed to improve grips, strokes and footwork patterns through fun drills and skill competitions, or an elite program for more advanced players that requires tryouts in order to participate in this group.
Afterschool sessions are taught Monday through Friday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The cost per session is $50. A group of classes may be bought each month and prices vary based on program.
While juniors brush up on tennis skills, parents can enroll in an energetic Cardio Tennis class held during the same time. A number of other classes are also available through Cañas Tennis including Tiny Tots Tennis for ages 3 to 5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m., Quick Start Tennis for ages 5 to 10 on Mondays and Fridays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., along with Get Up & Go AM Clinics for adults, Tennis for Moms that includes babysitting services, a Ladies League Practice & Match-Play, and Adult Instructional Tennis.
