Two, learning a new skill and exercising your creative muscles can be a huge confidence booster. And three, the social and collaborative aspect of an art class helps folks connect with others, make friends, and find community.

Students can save up to $20 per class when you can take advantage of an early registration discount, which ends December 28. -

US Tennis Association Chicago
USTA Chicago runs cardio tennis classes at River, Gompers, and Welles Parks that will continue running this winter in the parks whenever the weather cooperates. Here is how it will work:
- Registration sites are open at https://playtennis.usta.com/ustachicago/Coaching.
- Registration will be for SINGLE classes only; so, we are basically moving to a kind of “drop-in” (but pre-paid) class format.
- Registration opens one week before the class date.
- Classes will run as long as we have AT LEAST 4 players registered. There is a limit on the number of players in a class (in most cases it is 16).
- Classes may be cancelled if the forecast calls for temperatures below 35 degrees. Courts must be clear and dry.
- If classes are cancelled, all registered players will receive a text confirming the cancellation. They will also get a refund of their registration fee.
The classes are on Monday mornings at 7:30 (Gompers), Wednesday mornings at 7:30 (River), Thursday mornings at 7:30 (Welles), and Thursday evenings at 6:00 (River). Registration for all can be found at the link above.
