Tennis Team

Tennis team is open to members age 8-18 of all ability levels. In order to participate in matches, kids must be able to serve, keep score, and rally a few balls continuously. Before the start of summer matches, we offer an inter-club match to give kids a chance to get comfortable with match play in a relaxed and fun environment. The season ends with a one-day End of Season Tournament for which players must qualify for during the regular season.

Players interested in improving their tennis may also take advantage of our 2-week tennis lesson programs, or 1-week camps offered in the summer, Advance Player Clinics, or hire any of our instructors for private lessons. All of these opportunities are affordable options to further improving tennis skills, especially when compared to local tennis club rates
