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’s 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!

Practice and Play (Youth) 
For youth players who have completed at least one session of Tennis in the Parks or a similar introductory program and are now ready to practice, improve their game and have FUN! This program is run by a USTA-approved coach, players will receive instruction and do rotating match play to gain experience.
 
Players should bring their own racket, the coach will provide tennis balls.
