Where is the class held, and where do I park?

Classes are located just north of the bathrooms on 2nd Street. Look for our coaches wearing BAB shirts and with a wagon carrying balls and ball carts. Metered parking is available on most streets around 2nd Street. Please ensure to read signs and set alarms for your parking to avoid tickets. Longer-term parking is also available close to the pier if you plan to spend the day in Hermosa. Our courts are just a quick walk south!

What is the age requirement?

While most of our training members are adults we welcome people of all ages and levels. We do have junior and youth specific classes and clinics. If you are signing up for your child and want to come to one of our regular classes, we just ask that you know and understand your child’s maturity level.  Some kids thrive in environments with adults while some find it difficult.  You always have the option of trying your first class with them. All youth under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Cancellations?

If you need to cancel a class, please do so 12 hours before the start of class. If you are unable to cancel, please email [email protected]. Classes not attended or canceled after the 12-hour mark are not guaranteed a refund or credit. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows cause restructuring of practices. If we cancel a class, a credit will be returned to your account. We cancel classes for holidays and due to poor weather conditions such as heavy rain and high winds over 16 mph.

Private Lessons and Groups?

If you're interested in private lessons, please click on the "Trainers" tab in the app. If you cannot find a suitable time and trainer, please email [email protected]. We also arrange private group training with discounted prices. If you have a group of players at a similar level and a preferred time during the week, we can provide a coach. These groups operate on an 8-week training schedule for 1 or 2 days a week. Pricing depends on the number of athletes in the group. For more information and planning, email [email protected].

Kids?

We offer an 8-week kids course ongoing throughout the year for ages 7-11. For children outside this age range, please email [email protected] for approval. To sign up for the kids' course, navigate to the "Courses" section in the app.
