In the era of COVID-19 and the likelihood of distance learning becoming a reality for all or part of the fall 2020 school semester, a number of ARFC members have inquired as to what type of programs would ARFC be able to offer. It is those inquiries that have led to the development of our Outdoor Learning Program. While this program is open to Non-Members, ARFC Club members will have priority as space is limited.
Program Overview
ARFC’s Outdoor Sports & Learning Program is a place where children may participate in their daily distance learning in an outdoor, supervised, socially distanced and hygienically safe space. The program is then paired with physical activity options, such as a multi-sport arts & crafts or instructional training in either tennis or aquatics. The program will begin Monday, August 17. Program hours are Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm. Pre (7am) and post (4–6pm) program hours are also available. Distance learning supervision is conducted 8am–12pm, with lunch scheduled 12pm–1pm. Choice of multiple activities runs from 1pm–4pm.
Registrations will be accepted beginning Monday, August 10. ARFC Club members will have first priority until all spots are taken. Member sign-up deadline is August 13. Non-Members will be accepted on August 14th

Tennis Instruction Option
If you’re looking to improve your tennis and learn a lifetime sport, the tennis court is a GREAT place to spend your summer/fall afternoons. Players will learn the foundation of each tennis stroke in a fun and safe environment from ARFC’s amazing tennis staff. They specialize in "repeatable mechanics" and help players develop a calm, fluid tennis motion. Learning the basics of tennis and developing a sound tennis game is something every player that participates will benefit from. Players will be grouped by age and experience wherever possible. This program is designed to teach all aspects of the game. Players must bring: tennis shoes, water bottle and sunscreen.
The tennis program includes:

Sports 'n' Splash Option
Children exercise and use imagination to participate in a variety of athletic activities including swimming, tennis, soccer, kid’s dance, arts-n-crafts, kid's fitness, and more. Skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship are taught and our primary goal is to make sure all participating children have the time of their lives! Sports 'n' Splash offers children the opportunity and environment to explore their interests and express themselves in a safe and healthy environment. Bring Sunscreen, swimsuit, towel, gym clothes, non-marking tennis shoes, and a smile!
