The best athletes are often not
the best of instructors in their chosen sport, but their presence at
camps and clinics and special classes helps inspire both teachers and
pupils. Whatever your game, a master class can probably improve your
score and enhance your enjoyment.
Sun Valley, in addition to being a winter ski resort, operates a
world-class skating center during the summer months. Olympic skaters

indoor and outdoor ice rinks are available next to the grand old Sun
Valley Lodge. For information, contact: Sun Valley Skating Center,

the teaching, but his expert staff of instructors lead challenging
clinics on backhands, groundstrokes, volleys and serves for all levels
of players. John Newcombe Tennis Ranch, P.O. Box 310469, New Braunfels,
