Planning Your Clinic

A Personalized Approach to Planning

Hosting a clinic with us is a collaborative and straightforward process. We work closely with you from start to finish to ensure a smooth and successful event.

Letha, Your Partner in Planning

The hallmark of our clinic experience is the personal attention you receive from Letha, who, in addition to coaching, is our dedicated business manager. Letha’s top priority is your satisfaction and understanding, and she will be your main point of contact throughout the planning process.

Getting Started

To secure your preferred dates, we recommend beginning the planning process 1-3 months in advance. The further out you plan, the greater the likelihood that your desired dates will be available.

Step-by-Step Clinic Planning

Letha will guide you through each of these steps to prepare for your clinic:

  1. Select Your Focus: Choose the clinic subject area(s) you would like to host. You can schedule multiple sessions of one topic or mix and match from the six subject areas for a comprehensive experience.
  2. Determine Your Group Size: Plan your clinic with an intended number of attendees. Our small-group format is designed for optimal learning, with a maximum of 16 attendees per clinic session.
  3. Schedule Your Courts: Ensure your facility has the appropriate number of courts. We maintain a high standard for quality instruction with an attendee-to-court ratio of preferably 4, but no more than 6, attendees per court.
  4. Plan for Contingencies: If your courts are outdoors, Letha will work with you to plan for poor weather or other unforeseen circumstances to ensure your clinic can proceed smoothly.
  5. Identify Your Attendees: Once scheduled, you will provide Letha with a list of specific attendees, including their name, email, and phone number, for enrollment purposes. To help us tailor the instruction, please also include their approximate skill level (e.g., 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, etc.).

Logistics & Scheduling

Session Duration: Clinic sessions are typically 3 hours long, but this duration can be customized to fit your specific needs.

Daily Scheduling: For multiple sessions in one day, a one-hour buffer will be scheduled between clinics. A one-hour period for setup and tear-down will also be included before the first and after the last session of the day.
