Junior Serve and Practice Club:

An new/old program designed to motivate kids to come to the courts and practice on their own. We have hundreds of practice balls to loan them and we will chart their progress on the tennis hut wall as they strive towards 1,000 serves or more. There is no fee to participate, and to sign-up kids can just come to the tennis hut anytime after Memorial Day, hit their first basket of balls, and get their name on the chart!

Private Lessons:

Head Pro Gordon Kay is available for private lessons every day but Saturdays, Mid-May through mid-October.


Fees are $75/hour, $40/half-hour.


Lessons are also available with our assistant pros in June and July, for $40/hour, $25/half-hour.

Tennis Racquets:

If you do not have a racquet for your child, or if you are unsure the racquet is the correct size, please email Gordon asap. I will be happy to order one for you and/or make sure it is the correct size. I can also fix old grips.


General guidelines for sizes are:

4-5 yrs: 21”, 6-8 yrs: 23”, 9-11 yrs: 25”, 12 & over: 27” (adult size).


If you do buy on your own, Wilson, Head, and Babolat are all good brands. DO NOT buy an adult racquet from Dick’s, as almost every adult racquet they carry is an “extra long” (more than 27”),which actually makes learning tennis harder!
