USTA Tennis Program

Tennis in the Parks-Youth

Led by a USTA-approved coach, the Tennis in the Parks program will focus on developing the skills to serve, rally and play - so it’s perfect for beginners and first-time players. We focus on FUN and learning the basics through play. This program uses modified tennis balls, age-appropriate rackets and the latest engaging activities that help players successfully learn and play the game quicker. All youth players in their first session receive and keep a new age-appropriate racquet and ball!

Please visit our Tennis in the Parks website, www.usta.com/newengland/tennisintheparks, for more information regarding:

  • Learn to Play scholarships available for those in need of financial assistance 

  • USTA's Parent Support Guide

  • Opportunities to volunteer


Tennis in the Parks - Adult

Led by a USTA-approved coach, participants will have fun and get great exercise while developing the skills to serve, rally, and play tennis. The program is perfect for first-time and beginner players, as well as returning novice players. Participants should bring their own rackets, but loaner racquets will be available for players who don’t have access to a racket.

We’re hoping to offer an adult program again this summer. The USTA is currently working on securing a coach to lead it, and if that comes together, we’ll open registraitons.
