Scheduling

Beginning December 19, 2022 anyone interested in registering for private or semi-private swim lessons may visit our website, under the Aquatics "Private/Semi Private Lessons" page, to access the Interest Form. The form provides our scheduling staff with information about your/your child’s swim level, availability, and any special facts you feel are pertinent to servicing your family. After receiving all form information, our staff will begin scheduling lessons, giving Liberty members priority. After all lessons have been scheduled, the team will send an email with information about your lesson approximately two weeks after completing the form. 

Changes to the schedule may not be able to be accommodated once lesson information is sent out, so please make sure to include all important scheduling information in the Interest Form.

From the desk of Dan Goldberg, Director of Tennis

On behalf of the entire tennis staff, I'd like to thank the Liberty tennis community for all of your support over the past year. It's been great to see the positive energy and camaraderie on the courts in all of our programs and leagues. Wishing everyone a great holiday season, and I look forward to a happy, healthy and successful 2023!

Tennis Tip of the Month

Managing Nerves in Competition

Players of all levels tend to struggle with nerves in competition. I often hear players comment, "I am playing very well in practice, but I get so nervous and tight in matches that I'm afraid to go for my shots." The worst feeling in match situations is to not to be able to hit out on your shots, and make errors or feel powerless because of nerves taking over.  

If this sounds familiar, you aren't alone. Your focus should be on your breathing, footwork and on executing your game plan. Thoughts of winning and losing are often counterproductive and can lead to tentative play. Having a positive and consistent before and after point routine can empower you to stay in the moment and rid yourself of extraneous thoughts. Finally, even the most experienced players exhibit nerves. My advice is to accept them as a positive and necessary part of competition.  "Everyone has butterflies, but with proper practice and awareness you can get yours to fly in formation." Good luck!
