Tennis lessons courting students from out of town Aaron Jack 1 i n More people are coming from outside town to take tennis lessons at the Seaforth tennis courts than from Seaforth itself, according to Hank Binnendyk, who has taught the sport here since 1996. He says he's getting students from Zurich, Hensall, Mitchell and Blyth in addition to people from Seaforth. "I guess there's nothing else out there," says Binnendyk. He expects to have more students this year than last, but not everyone has signed up yet. "A lot of people don't want to commit until the last minute," Binnendyk says. Binnendyk's early bird program for advanced adult players is scheduled to start today (May 16), with beginners and advanced classes for both youths and adults starting after school ends for the summer. Last year, Binnendyk had five adult beginner students, 10 adult advanced students, seven beginner youth students and eight advanced youth students. So far this year, he has eight people signed up for the early bird program, six beginner adults, Hank Binnendyk eight advanced adults, seven beginner youths and seven advanced youths. He explains that the advanced students aren't necessarily experts. "They know the game, how to keep score, how to hit the ball and some strategy," he says. Binnendyk tries to limit each group to eight players, but will book up to nine on the assump- tion that one person or another will be missing each week. "Any more than that and I'd need another instructor," he says. "And those are hard to come Y" After last year's $9,000 in repairs to the tennis courts, Binnendyk says they haven't had to do any maintenance this year. Binnendyk says that while there were some more students after the repairs, the increase wasn't significant. Fees are higher this year, with the early bird program at $40, the 10 week adult and kids' pro- grams at $75 and $70 respectively. Anyone wanting to use the courts must pay $35 to get a key. When they return the key in the fall, they'll get $10 -back. Binnendyk said they only got three keys back last year. He wasn't sure why since the locks are changed every year.
