on a team format in a spirited atmosphere. Junior Team Tennis
divisions are based on age and ability levels, so there is a place
for everyone from beginners to advanced tournament level players.

is an exciting new option in Junior Team Tennis. This new concept
for beginners uses foam balls and a smaller court to enhance the
opportunity for immediate play.
