Tennis Mentoring Program

Our tennis mentoring program was launched this past winter and we are excited to announce the program continues for the Spring! Now is a great time to be on the court, and we have made adjustments to the program that make it easier than ever to participate.



For the Mentees

Just indicate an interest that you would like to have experienced players help you make the game more fun and rewarding. Whether it's just creating a better rally, hitting against more pace, or just a simple rules or etiquette question you need answered, we have a wealth of experience to draw from here at the Racquet Club. You may contact the pro shop, and we will add your name to the list of mentees. That's all there is to it! You will be contacted by the staff to help arrange a time to participate as well as the mentors you will be on the court with. There are no set times or dates and frequency will vary based on player needs and volunteer availability.



For the Mentors

We are looking for volunteers who are willing to donate maybe a few hours a month to help others with their tennis game. We have many newer players to the game that could greatly benefit from the skills and experience you have gained throughout the years. No coaching skills are required it's just an opportunity for players to gain experience on the court with other players with higher skills and more experience. Mike Kiser, Head Tennis Professional, can personally help prepare each mentor prior to getting on the court.



We hope to maintain an ongoing and ever changing roster of mentors and mentees to participate and hope each of you find this program both fun and rewarding.



Customized Camps for Non Resident Members

This program is designed for team captains and non resident members who are interested in bringing a group to Seabrook Island.

Any group with a minimum of 4 players participating in 4 or more hours of camp instruction qualifies the captain/organizer for a free instructional camp! Please contact Mike Kiser, Head Tennis Professional, for details on this new program.
