Forest View converted two racquetball courts into Wallyball courts. Wallyball is a game similar to volleyball played inside a racquetball court using the sidewalls to keep your opponents guessing. This is a fun workout for anyone, and an easy game to learn. Only Forest View members may reserve a court, but any group can play on stand-by for $16 per hour (no guest fees for wallyball). Contact Forest View at 847.640.2574 for information on Wallyball, Permanent Court Time and leagues. (NA)

Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

Forest View is excited to announce the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete.The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition. Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are:
- Forest View Junior Membership
- Competitive Play (Tournmanents, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program)
For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw
at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com
