Viktor Berg Doubles Clinics
How would you like a lesson with Tiger Woods? How about Roger Federer? We can't arrange that, but Lynn Broman can arrange a "lesson" with a former world #1 doubles player. Viktor Berg has some dates open for doubles clinics.
Viktor is available for clinics Saturday, February 4, 2012; Sunday, February 5, 2012; and Sunday, February 19, 2012. We have room for 3 groups each day (noon, 1pm & 2pm — note change from previous sessions), with a minimum of 2 sessions booked on each date. A 4th session, 3pm, may be possible.
As of 2012.02.02 13:47, only one session still has spots open.
Saturday, February 4th, & Sunday, February 19th are full. As are the first two sessions on Sunday, February 5th.
The 2pm session on Sunday, February 5th will remain open until Friday, February 3rd. If not full by then it will be cancelled. We need two more to join Hamish Jackson, or another group of 3. Contact Lynn Broman if you are interested in one, or more, of the 2pm spots.
Viktor has been notified, and has responded "Awesome."
For the price, this is probably the best entertainment deal in town. Being on court with Viktor is always energizing, and exciting. Past experience shows that all 3 students somehow play harder, faster, and better. Learning something about playing doubles is just a bonus.
Signing Up
If interested, please send Lynn Broman your preferred wall, choice of dates, and how many sessions you would like to take. (If you doubt his understanding of your doubles skills, you can also include your perceived level of play.) Please, send all dates and hours you are available or interested in. That will help Lynn find suitable dates for all the interested people. (Viktor requires 2 sessions, minimum, on any date.)
Each group needs at least one right and one left wall. Lynn will make every effort possible to have players of similar skill in each group.
You are encouraged to put your own threesome together. Please provide Lynn with the requisite information. But, only do so, if the threesome is confirmed (by you), and the dates/times provided are acceptable to everyone in the threesome.

Clinic Format
The clinics will consist of two or three one hour sessions each day. Each session consists of Viktor (playing whatever wall is necessary), and 3 students.
Viktor spends a little time at the beginning of the session to determine if there are any particular aspects the players wish to focus on. The foursome then begins playing regular games, with Viktor commenting as necessary between points. The rallies are also peppered with "volley", "hurry", "wider", "deeper", "attack", "move up".
He always has one or two hints for each player. And, usually summarizes his observations for each person at the end of the session.
He is an amazing talent, a treat to be on court with, is very positive and a great deal of fun. It is an energizing experience to be on court with one of the world's best.
Fee Structure
Incredible price for the opportunity: $30 per person per hour.
