Enrollment

The program is based on a 13-week curriculum. Although it is recommended to attend all 13 weeks to gain full mastery of each area, players may select the dates that work best for their schedule. Each class will start with a review of all skills learned and then progress to new skills, so even new players will have the opportunity to learn and develop.
