MRTC clinics and summer events

05/19/2025 by delfaussel Leave a Comment


Date: May 17, 2025

Hi all,

The courts are ready and , yes, soon the rain will stop and summer tennis will begin at MRTC.

At this point Lee Delfausse is organizing clinics on Mondays with an 11:00-12:30 strategy clinic and a 12:30-2:00 technique clinic.

Remember she can only take 8 in each clinic.

She will create a sub list and also accommodate those who want other group instruction.

Please text Lee to join. (802-793-1962)

Strategy Clinic Mondays 11:00-12:30

This will be a high intensity, progressive clinic for those who want to work on formations, running, footwork, fitness, advanced stroke production such as slice, drop shots and lob volleys, placement and competitive play. The clinic will offer progressive lessons that build on each other, so it is recommended that participants attend as many as possible. I’ll teach four 4 week sessions beginning June 2-30, July 7-28, August 4-25, and Sept 1-22.

Please text Lee (802-793-1962) to join as there will be only 8 players in each clinic.
This clinic is filling fast.

Technique Clinic Mondays 12:30-2:00

This will be a less intensive clinic for those who want to perfect strokes: topspin, slices, lobs, drop shots, volleys and serves. I’ll teach four 4 week sessions (4 clinics each) beginning June 2-30, July 7-28, August 4-25, and Sept 1-22.

Please text Lee (802-793-1962) to join 8 players. You do not have to commit to any number of clinics.


If there is a demand, she will offer (of course, organized by members) a more introductory group lesson for those who can’t attend on a regular basis.

Please text Lee (802-793-1962) if interested.

Private lessons will also be available.

For group clinics the charge remains $25 per clinic.

Triples on last Fridays of the month 4:00-5:30
We will plan on triples (first come, first served, sign up with Lee) on June 27, July 25, August 29. There will be a potluck at a home TBD after each triples.

Team Match
The Burlington Tennis Club has offered to host a mixed MRTC team for 3.0+ players on August 10 from 2-4 pm. Just a chance for us to have fun, travel and play against another group.

Exhibitions
I have invited Jeannie Hulsen and women to do an exhibition in July (TBD) and Windridge Instructors for August (TBD).

See you soon and contact Lee with questions,
