About Our Mission...

The nationally accredited Plano Parks and Recreation Department operates under the

following mission:

Enriching Plano through parks, facilities,

programs and resource stewardship.

A comprehensive variety of recreational opportunities, structured and unstructured, are available to individuals regardless of race, socio-economic level, color, sex, national origin or ability.

The community recreation program in Plano includes a cooperative venture between the City of Plano and the Plano Independent School District. This arrangement meets the requirements for recreation programs and facilities and conserves available tax dollars. In this manner, the leisure needs of every Plano citizen can be met at a comparatively low cost.

Financial assistance is available for annual tennis passes, memberships and recreation course programs. Please call 972-941-7155 for additional information.

Inclusion in many of our programs is possible for those with special needs. It is important that you contact Therapeutic Recreation at 972-941-7272, prior to registration, for details on how we can support your abilities, interests and desire to participate.

The City of Plano Parks and Recreation Department assures equal employment opportunity for all citizens without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or handicap status. Full consideration will be given to the employment of all persons for jobs in which they are qualifi ed.

Group lessons are very popular and some classes fi ll very quickly. To assure a continuous chain of instruction, it is recommended that students enroll for multiple sessions at the time of initial registration. For example, a student should enroll for a Beginner session in the fi rst session, an Advanced Beginner I group in the second session and an Advanced Beginner II group in the third session.

QuickStart TennisHigh Point participates year round in the QuickStart Tennis play format, a national program designed to help children learn, rally, and play quickly. Using shorter and lighter racquets, balls that are easy to keep in play, and court dimensions tailored to smaller players, youngsters from ages 5-10 pick up the game very quickly. In short time, young players are able to keep the ball in play and play points just like older and more experienced players. In time, as students’ games improve and as they mature physically, they move to traditional rackets, balls and courts. QuickStart is a great way to introduce children to the great game of tennis!

Advancement from Course to CoursePlayers are encouraged to continue learning and playing through progressively more challenging courses. The goal is to have students playing tennis (in some form) as soon as possible. As a player improves, more course time is spent on point-play like situations. For children, the instructional/play sequence is: Beginner or Pee Wee I lessons (depending on age of child), Advanced Beginner or Pee Wee II lessons, and Future Stars or Pre Junior Development (Play and Instructional Programs), Competitive and Elite Junior Development.

For Teens, the sequence is Beginner, Advanced Beginner I, Advanced Beginner II, Learn N Play, Future Stars, Competitive and Elite Junior Development.

For Adults, the sequence is Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Learn and Play, High Point intra-facility leagues, Tennis Competitor of Dallas leagues and USTA Adult Leagues.

REGISTRATION 101Registration 101

SO YOU WANT TO SIGN UP FOR A COURSE?Great! We offer several convenient ways for you to register

including: Internet, in person and by telephone. INTERNET REGISTRATION“You’re fi rst in line when you are on-line”Actually, when registration begins each session, 750 people (or Internet connections) are allowed at one time. We found that if we allow more connections the Web pages load too slowly for even the most patient person. If you are not one of the fi rst 750 connections you will get a message that reads “Leisure OnLine is currently busy due to high demand.” After the fi rst 30 minutes of the start of registration the demand subsides allowing quick and easy access to the site.

Residents may register on-line beginning at 8 am on May 7. Be sure to get an Individual ID and Family PIN by calling any of our centers. Please call prior to the fi rst day of registration because heavy call volume on this fi rst day makes it diffi cult to get through on the phone. You can also request this information by e-mail 24/7 in the “My Account” section of Leisure OnLine if the e-mail address matches the one on your account or e-mail customer care. Have your Individual ID, Family PIN, course numbers and credit card information ready when you log on. Once logged on, you can shop, pay and print your receipts from your own computer. www.planoparks.org

*Non-resident registration begins at 6 am on May 9.

IN PERSONResidents may register in person beginning at 8 am on May 7 at any of the following locations:

We will be happy to take credit cards, checks and cash. However, you will get done sooner if you use cash or check as you won’t have to wait for a credit card authorization. Approximately three terminals will be utilized at each site. Be sure to bring your course information and payment. You can only register for one family at a time. If you need to register for another family that cannot attend you must have a second person (age 16+) with you or go back to the end of the line then register for the other family.

*Non-resident registration begins at 6 am on May 9.

Don’t have time to wait in a line? You can always drop off a registration planning sheet (available on our Web site and at our centers), and we will be happy to process your choices when the initial demand subsides. We will call you when we fi nish with your registration and will mail receipts to you. Please include payment with your form.

INCLUSION POLICYInclusion in many of our programs is possible for those with special needs. It is important that you contact Therapeutic Recreation at (972) 941-7272, prior to registration, for details on how we can support your abilities, interests and desire to participate.

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of others in recreation programs, participants are expected to display appropriate behaviors. The success of all recreation activities depends not only on good planning and instruction, but the conduct of participants. Appropriate behavior includes the ability to follow instructions and interact with other individuals. Parks and Recreation staff will discuss behaviors of concern with the participant and his/her family when necessary.

Has your phone number changed? Your e-mail?

Our primary means of communication with you about class changes or cancellations is by phone or e-mail. If these have changed, please update your information by calling or visiting any recreation facility. For your convenience we can also add your cell and/or work number to your account.
