| Tryout And Enrollments |
In order to insure proper placement in classes, each new student must be tested. Tryouts are conducted personally by Gordon Kent, Carole Wright, and their staff and are scheduled starting August 28 on weekdays from 4-7 pm, Saturdays from noon to 4 pm, or by special appointment if necessary. Call Carole Wright or Gordon Kent at (212)935-0250 to make an appointment for a tryout. Children are placed in classes based on the following criteria: * Skill level - players within a group must be at similar levels * Age - generally a class is most successful when players are near the same age * Location - if a child needs transportation, logistics of pick-up and drop-off become a significant issue in class placement. Placing a child in a suitable class is crucial to a positive experience. We cannot always find classes at every level at any given time. Accordingly, tryouts are essential to the enrollment process. Also we need as much information about the applicants as possible. Available time, playing experience and transportation needs are very important. Please supply this information in the appropriate spaces on the application. A deposit of $400 is required with the application with the balance due two weeks before the session begins. Delinquent accounts will be charged interest at the rate of 1 1/2% per month. To schedule a tryout and/or enroll - CALL (212) 935-0250. Email address - netennis@aol.com |
