Spec Tennis clinics offered

Spec Tennis

Spec Tennis, developed by South Lake Tahoe local Nate Gross in 2016, is holding instructional clinics at Kahle Community Center in Glenbrook, Nev.

Spec Tennis is a racquet sport that is played on a pickleball court, which is half the size of a tennis court. Players use a paddle and a low-bouncing tennis ball.

“The learning curve is small. … Many players are able to rally the ball back and forth on their first or second time playing, due to the smaller court dimensions, slower ball and a less powerful paddle that is 9 inches shorter than a tennis racquet,” said Gross in a press release.

Spec Tennis can be played indoors and outdoors. The Lake Tahoe Spec Tennis Club was recently formed and is open to everyone. | nate@spectennis.com
