Tennis
Tennis is a game in which two opposing players (singles) or pairs of players (doubles) use strung rackets to hit a ball of a specified size, weight, and bounce over a net on a rectangular court. Points are awarded to a player or team whenever the opponent fails to return the ball within the specified lines on the court. Organized lessons, leagues, and camps are held outdoors. The most up-to-date program listings can be found on our Registration Website; toggle Adult Sports & Leagues and Youth Sports for the class listings.
Summer Tennis Leagues!
This year's Summer Tennis League will continue with the re-vamped format; the new divisions are easier to decipher if players do not have a USTA rating.
Three divisions include:
- Summer Tennis League: Recreational
June 3-August 11 (Optional season-ending tournament - more details at a later date)
$12R/$18NR
Recreational - This division is for players who want to improve their match play and tennis skills including hitting accuracy, speed on the court, and serving. Score will be kept during play, but reporting will be optional in this division for each individual/team. This division would be comparable to players who are around levels 2.5-3 on the USTA rating system.
- Summer Tennis League: Intermediate
June 3-August 11 (Optional season-ending tournament - more details at a later date)
$12R/$18NR
This division is for players who want to play competitively, but who may still be working on hitting accuracy and improving serves. Players in this division are fairly consistent, with moderate ball control. This division would be comparable to players who are around levels 3-3.5 on the USTA rating system.
- Summer Tennis League: Competitive
June 3-August 11 (Optional season-ending tournament - more details at a later date)
$12R/$18NR
This division is for players who have played tennis in the past competitively. Players in this division generally have directional control over the ball and are able to utilize different types of strokes during match play. This division would be comparable to players who are level 3.5 or higher on the USTA rating system.
