LEARN TO PLAY AND PLAY BETTER! This program is designed to introduce children to the fun and excitement of tennis, utilizing the USTA’s Youth Tennis format. This game uses smaller racquets, lower nets, slower bounce balls, and easier scoring to enable kids to start playing right away. Children who are new to the game and those with some experience are encouraged to attend. This program meets 2 days per week for 4 weeks. A child may be registered for all 8 days, or any 6 days.

This program offers a special opportunity for young children to explore the wonders of learning through outdoor play at the picturesque Veterans Memorial Park and Mooney Carrese Forest. Children will engage in nature-based arts and crafts, discover exciting book-themed activities, and enjoy hands-on exploration of the forest’s beauty.
