PRIVATE LESSONS
During both the indoor and outdoor seasons, Chestnut Ridge offers private, semi-private, and drill group lessons for adults and juniors. These types of lessons are set up by arrangement with members of the professional staff.
Private lessons, semi-private lessons and drill sessions all are important when a player is looking to improve. Private lessons are the easiest way to make technical improvements but can also be used simply to get a great workout. Semi-private lessons are especially advantageous for top-level players looking to improve their stamina and consistency. Drill sessions offer players the opportunity to hone their skills in a wide variety of game-situation drills.
