Led by a USTA-approved coach, the Tennis in the Parks program will focus on developing the skills to serve, rally and play - so it is perfect for beginners and first-time players. We focus on FUN and learning the basics through play. This program uses modified tennis balls, age-appropriate rackets and the latest engaging activities. that help players successfully learn and play the game quicker.
*All players in their first session receive and keep a new age-appropriate racquet and ball!
*Please bring a water bottle and if you already have a tennis racket that you like to use, you can bring that as well, but you will also get a new one.
*Depending on the weather, some weeks we may have to cancel and schedule a make up date. You will be notified by email if we have to cancel and reschedule a date, so please make sure to check your email before you leave for the program, especially if the weather looks like rain. If we can not offer a makeup date(s), participants will get a refund for the canceled date(s) due to bad weather. No prorated refunds will be given for any other situations.
