If you’re looking to start or refine tennis skills, or meet other tennis players, look no further! Top-notch Adult and Youth/Junior Tennis instruction is available in West Seattle (no more driving across the Bridge!) Caerwyn Evans, Founder & Tennis Pro of WynTennis Academy, and his coaching staff (Siggy Menzel & Josh Bailin) will be at “The Arb” through August 31st. Arbor Heights Swim & Tennis Club is fortunate to have partnered with WynTennis to bring their dynamic and fun squad to the PNW. Caerwyn was recently awarded the Manager of the Year for Coachella Valley and he is excited to be teaching in the northwest to escape the desert heat. Classes are open to non-members!

I waited a decade on the waiting list and pay ever
increasing dues to use these courts.
Caerwyn, how do you justify opening up the courts to the public to those
of us who pay annual dues for the use of these courts and now cannot get court times?

Sounds like a question for your club’s board of directors…and may i recommend keeping it between you and them.

This is an interesting comment. As long as I can remember (for at least a decade and a half) Arbor Heights has always offered lessons and classes to both non-members and members for tennis, swim (and occasionally dive). Other than the specific lesson times, the courts and pool are for member use. But I agree with the other poster, if you have a disagreement with lessons and classes being available to both public and members, you should take that up with the AH board and not blame an individual coach.

These coaches are freaking great. They are awesome with my kids and my wife and I learned so much from them. I heartily endorse them and encourage you to sign up!

Group lessons have always been available to the public during non-busy times. I believe what the original poster is discussing is the adult group clinics that have been occurring during the most popular play times. Adult clinics have never been advertised to the public. It feel like the new tennis pros are offering so many clinics that they cannot be filled by member demand. There are only 4 courts and I can say from personal experience that it has been very difficult to get court time. I also agree that this is a discussion best had with the board, which I will do.
