Adult Pickleball Team

in

Spring matches will be held on Sundays at 11am (and possibly a second set of matches at 12pm).  We play 4 lines of doubles.  The regular season will be from April 19th – May 31st.  Playoffs will be the first two weeks of June.  You do not need to be able to play every week.  Once registered, you will be asked to input your availability for each week.  Our captains will send out a lineup each week with the players selected to play (if more than 8 are available).

A few additional notes:

  • This is an adult league; we are trying to find a youth league that will work for our club.
  • Highlands members play $20 for the season; Guests pay $40 to cover club fees
  • There are various levels in this league, but you must have some pickleball match experience to register (and know how to keep score).

 

If you would like to register for the Spring Pickleball League, please complete the form and provide payment.

If you have any additional questions, please contact Beth Taylor at [email protected].

Junior Tennis Team

Junior Tennis Team (JTT)

Coach Dylan Farmer is pumped to take the lead of our Junior Team in 2026, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable season!

Practices won’t just be about hard work (though we’ll bring it!) – they’ll be packed with Game Days, extra match play all week long, and epic Player of the Week awards that celebrate effort, improvement, and teamwork.

Whether your junior is stepping onto the court or the first time or ready to level up, ALL Highlands Juniors are invited to jump in, have fun, and grow their game.

Registration is coming soon, but here are the details that we know so far…

  • Early Bird JTT Registration available until April 1st: $400; JTT Registration after 4/1: $450
  • Plan to join us at the Open House (Date TBD) in the upper grassy area (weather permitting).  It will be a great opportunity to meet our coaches and JTT Parent Rep, ask questions, and pick up your t-shirt.
  • Team Picture date and time is currently TBD.
  • Team Olympics Kickoff Event will be on June 19th (Time TBD) – Players from all age groups will be mixed into teams and compete in various tennis games and other skills challenges for an exciting start to the season!
  • Friday Night Pizza & Match Play sessions from 5-7 PM.  Match play-ready players are invited to join for a mix of intrasquad matchplay, pizza, and socialize with teammates!
    • For Players 13 and over: 6/26, 7/10, 7/24
    • For Players 12 and under: 7/3, 7/17, 7/24
  • The season will officially start on Monday, June 22nd with weekday practices Monday – Friday.
  • Morning Practice Times will be held Monday – Friday:
    • 9-10 AM – Ages 8 and under Red Ball Team
    • 8-9 AM – Ages 9-10 Orange Ball Team
    • 11-12 AM – Ages 11-12 Green Ball Team
    • 10-11 AM – Ages 13+ Yellow Ball Team
  • Afternoon Practices will be held Mondays & Wednesdays:
    • 4-5 PM – Ages 9-12
    • 5-6 PM – Ages 13+
  • Matches are scheduled:
    • Tuesdays 4-6 PM
    • Thursdays 4-6 PM
  • All practices will be separated by level as best as possible to ensure quality practice time for all players.
  • For any players with match experience who cannot make our practice times work, we still want your participation when possible, so we will have a “match-only” option for registration.  This is geared towards our older players, not our beginners.
  • End of season party date / time is still TBD

Creating a more competitive team is the main goal for 2026, but we also want to emphasize building a better path towards progression for more beginner juniors for the following seasons!

 

Please contact Coach Dylan Farmer at [email protected] or JTT Parent Rep Carrie Gray at [email protected] with any questions.

Private Swim Lessons

in

If Swim School is not a good fit for your family, you may consider private swim lessons. For those doing Swim Team or Swim School in July, private swim lessons are also a great option for kids to maintain and further their skills during the month of August. Private Swim Lessons are given by Highlands Swim Coaches. Lessons are scheduled directly with the coach and are 30 minutes in duration. Price per lesson will depend on the level of coach. If your swimmer is interested in Private Swim Lessons (both Swim Team and non-Swim Team lessons), please send an email to [email protected]. Include your swimmer’s age, a brief description of this/her swimming level, general or specific skill(s) swimmer would like to focus on during the lesson, a general day/time availability, and the parent’s name and contact information. Responses to the private lesson account will be sent after the pool opens in May.

2026 Highlands Swim School

For Highlands members looking for a learn-to-swim program or a pre-team program, the Highlands Swim School is a great option. Swim School is led by the club’s Developmental Swim Director, Kelli Morris Larkin, and coached by our own Highlands swim team coaches. Our core program is the popular 5-Week Morning Swim School run in June and July. We will also offer an evening option during regular season (June – July) and late May. For all of the details, visit the “Swim School” tab at:

Aqua Fitness – Water Aerobics

AQUA FITNESS – WATER AEROBICS

Back for the 2026 Season!

Start your summer mornings with our aqua fitness classes taught by returning instructor, Amanda Smith. Burn twice the calories of walking while protecting your joints.

For 2026, we will be offering two class options. Each class meets twice a week from June 1 – August 27. Times and class descriptions below. All fitness levels welcome!  No class on July 20 – 23.  You can participate in both classes but must register separately.

Deep water aerobics:  6:15 – 7:05am Tuesday & Thursday (Bring your own flotation belt – details below). $220 for the session.

Shallow water aerobics: 8:00 – 8:50am Monday & Wednesday. $220 for the session.

  • Deep Water Aerobics Class Descriptions: With S’WET™ DEEP, you’ll learn how to train smarter, not harder, by harnessing the buoyancy and resistance of the water to optimize your workouts.  Participants must be comfortable in deep water. A flotation belt makes for a more effective workout. Participants are responsible for bringing their own flotation belt. They can be purchased through online or traditional retailers such as Swim Outlet, Amazon, or Dick’s. Our favorite brands (which we have found to be better quality and longer lasting) are Sporti Premium and Hydro-Fit.
  • Shallow Water Aerobics Class Description: S’WET Shallow Designed to incorporate unique blocks focused on H.I.I.T., strength and advanced cardio training, plus a splash of fun, that will challenge your entire body and make you S’WET !”
