Junior Lessons this Fall

Fall tennis registration is now open! Pikas is $90 (for six lessons). Marmots and Bobcats are $150 (for ten lessons). For registration, please contact Willow.

Register early! There are fewer spots (there's only one Pikas group, and I've combined Chipmunks and Marmots). Marmots and Bobcats are biweekly to minimize late fall weather. If your child wants to join but only one day works, please reach out! Willow can likely provide a discount.

Court Booking - Bonus Time!
