Robert Menzies is the Director of Tennis at the Stratton Training & Fitness Center . In addition to overseeing the Stratton Training & Fitness Center ’ s year-round tennis clinics , school tennis programs , and emergent pickleball program ( which includes their popular weekly Friday pickleball games ), Menzies also serves as the chief organizer and manager of Stratton ’ s Cliff Drysdale Tennis School summer program . Combining world-class instruction with breathtaking mountain views , the Cliff Drysdale Tennis School summer program offers daily morning instructional clinics , private lessons , and weekend clinics for both children and adults . The in-demand summer program takes place on the outdoor courts and is open to anyone who is looking to improve their tennis skills .
“ The Cliff Drysdale summer tennis program provides guests who come to Stratton with the perfect opportunity to bring their tennis game to the next level ,” says Menzies . “ During the wintertime , we offer structured clinics for players of all skill levels . We have mid-week morning clinics for adults , and we also work with local schools through our school program , such as The Mountain School at Winhall and Stratton Mountain School . On the weekends , we hold classes and clinics on Saturdays and Sundays that are great for people who are visiting the resort .”

Given the fact that the Stratton Training & Fitness Center employs two on-staff tennis professionals year-round , Menzies and Lopez are able to effectively split the winter clinics up between novice and experienced players . “ We help guests of all skill levels refine and strengthen their skills and become better players . We also offer our tennis clinics for a fraction of the price of what many of our visiting guests pay in urban areas . It ’ s a great option for ‘ weekend warriors ’ who come to visit throughout the winter season .”
