2023 Tennis Team

Does your child love to play tennis? Is your child looking to take his or her game to the next level? Then register to join our Tennis Team!

The team will work together doing match play, drills, and take your child’s game to the next level, with an emphasis on improving game strategy – for singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. The main focus is match play, against each other and inter-club. We are excited that there are 8 clubs participating in matches this year.

Team Tennis is for players ages 9-17 that have had some experience playing tennis games. Your child will experience all of the technical, mental and physical challenges that come with playing matches, learn great sportsmanship and most important have a lot of fun!
