Free beginner tennis instruction for children ages 6 - 17 on a first come, first serve basis. City Parks Foundation instructors use fun exercises and drills to help teach kids the basics of tennis and discover a sport for life. Beginner tennis classes are usually divided into three 1-hour sessions at each park, depending on number of participants and available courts.
Children ages 8-10 years old are typically the first hour, followed by ages 11-13 and then 14-17. When registering please select the time slot that corresponds to your child’s age. Instruction for intermediate-level players is also available at select sites.
Once the program begins, the site director will provide more specific schedule information for that park.
