In the Little Stars/Big Stars tennis program, we highlight the fundamentals of tennis. These fundamentals include footwork, ball control, and racket control. As the class moves along, we move from small drills into mini games to practice these skills. Beginner Little Stars (ages 6-8) This class is designed for kids who are new to tennis or have limited experience. Kids will have loads of fun learning basic tennis skills and working on eye-hand coordination. Please bring a Junior-sized racket, an unopened can of tennis balls and a water bottle. Advanced Little Stars (ages 6-8) This class is designed for kids who have previously participated in a Little Stars Tennis class or have some experience playing the game. Kids will continue to build on basic tennis skills, improve eye-hand coordination and foster a love for the game. Please bring a Junior-sized racket, an unopened can of tennis balls and a water bottle. Please select the correct option (Beginner or Advanced) when enrolling your child. Beginner is denoted with the color green, Advanced is in purple.

This course is a step-by-step instructional painting class using acrylic paints. Your child will learn how to mix color, learn brushstroke techniques and paint using a palette knife. This course of paintings will include daisies, a hedgehog, and a cherry blossom tree.

This two-session after-school class is for those who love to create things with their hands. During the one-hour workshops, participants will use hand-building techniques to make a variety of decorative objects (vase, bowl, animal creatures, etc.). We will create and glaze during both sessions. The instructor will add a clear glaze and fire the pieces the following week. Finished pieces will be dropped off at the elementary school. The instructor will supply aprons for all participants. Please bring a $15.00 supply fee, which will be collected by the instructor at the beginning of the first class.
