Mayodan, NC – The tennis balls are bouncing on the indoors courts at Lifestyle Fitness & Tennis (LF&T) this winter. From January 20–March 9, these indoor tennis courts will be the home for local players of all ages and skill levels.

The winter tennis program includes free clinics for middle and high school youth, CARDIO TENNIS, evening and after school LOBOTON for adults and youth, men’s and women’s league, AND private tennis and pickleball lessons with visiting coach Brent Edwards or local coach Bitrus Istifanus. What better way to find yourself in the game during our chilly North Carolina winter, than by grabbing your racket and hitting the INDOOR courts at Lifestyle Fitness & Tennis. No racket? No problem, there’s one for you to use.

On Saturdays, our own Rockingham County coach, Bitrus Istifanus from Eden, and Brent Edwards, Tennis
Director at Asheboro Swim and Racquet Club, host free middle and high school clinics for local youth. The clinics are open to youth just learning to play as well as experienced team players who want to improve their game before the next schools tennis season. These free clinics are limited to 12 players each. LF&T and Rockingham County Tennis Association (RCTA) co-sponsor this free youth tennis outreach program.

Adults and kids are hitting a LOT of balls playing CARDIO TENNIS and After School LOBOTON. Cardio Tennis is led by Coach Brent Edwards and limited to 10 to a court. Hit over a 1000 balls in 60 minutes? Yes you can! But beware there’s a fitness ladder at the back of the court to keep your feet moving. Program fee: $10 for members/$20 for non-members.

Both adults and kids are loving a new game trademarked by GTP Foundation called LOBOTON. Say “lob a ton
of balls” out loud and you’ll get it. A Loboton host meets up to 8 players on the court to explain the rules and how to use the scoresheet. Then you’re off – music blaring and balls bouncing in this fun rally game with no serving. No coach is required but the after school LBTN sessions are chaperoned by a parent, tennis supporter, or a LBTN host. After School Loboton sessions are open to any school team player on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4-6p. These courts are sponsored by Rockingham County Tennis Association. Program fee: $5/player

Our women’s doubles league meets on Monday and Wednesday Mornings from 9-11am and the men’s
doubles league plays on Monday evenings from 6-8p. Program fee: $6/member or $11/non-member includes
a new can of balls for each court.

Private tennis and pickleball lessons are available from Coach Brent Edwards after 1:30pm on Saturdays.
Coach Bitrus Istifanus is available for private tennis lessons at the same time Each coach schedules their private lesson time and collects lesson fees directly from players.
