 Learning the sport of tennis is more than forehands, backhands and serves. It helps to develop mental, social and physical skills that last a lifetime. Let our USPTA instructors teach your children the fundamentals of the game and develop their speed, agility, concentration, core strength, stamina and mental toughness at the same time.
The Pershing Park Tennis Courts are located near the beach at 100 E. Castillo Street.
We advise parents to be prompt, as no additional supervision is provided before or after the clinic. A $5 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes (or portion of) that parents are late for pick up. Also, if a child must miss a day for any reason, please notify us in advance.
