Tennis @ TCRC
|
Members have access to 6 tennis courts, 4 Premier surface courts and 2 hard courts, and programs for all ages and skill levels. Our Premier court surfaces offer a cushioned feel for reduced impact on players’ feet, back and joints. We are very pleased to share that our Premier courts 1-4 are newly resurfaced! We completed our resurfacing in early Fall of 2020 and the feedback from players has been overwhelmingly positive. Our newly resurfaced courts support the competitive tennis player as well as those just joining the game.
We offer a wide range of year-round private lessons and group clinics for adults and juniors with lessons for kids as young as four years old into competitive middle and high school aged players. |
