The Junior Program at Central Tennis Club is one big PARTY!

Central Tennis Club offers Spring, Summer, and Fall clinics. Our most popular is our Spring clinic and we often have a waitlist. To avoid being disappointed, sign your junior up early.

Have a blast at the Junior Opening Day, the Parent & Child Tournament, the Junior Club Championships, and the Junior Closing Day! All events include games, round robins, refreshments / pizza, and prizes at no extra cost! All levels welcome. Pre-registration is preferred to purchase food and prizes.

Team tennis is a lot of fun and competitive. Come to the tryouts in April! Intercounty Tennis Association (ICTA) matches begin in May. The team plays away alternating Saturdays, 9 am to 1 pm.

Your participation makes the Junior Program fun. Come down and participate in some or all our activities. It’s a great way to have fun and meet new friends.

Junior Clinics

Junior Clinics are for Central Tennis Club members only.

All clinics are group lessons with focus on skills development. Lessons have a maximum of 8 juniors per clinic (a waiting list will be kept), there are 3 sessions per season (Spring, Summer, and Fall clinics), and each junior is allowed to register in one clinic only per session. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and payment by credit card is required at time of registration. If a particular clinic registration is full parents can still register to be on the Waitlist. "Beginner" implies little or no previous tennis lessons / experience, "Intermediate" implies at least 2 years of lessons / experience, "Advanced" implies more than 3 years of tennis lessons / experience. All lessons taught by Club Pro, Stan Palmateer.

Keep in mind, if you are not in a clinic, Court 1 is available for all juniors to play games.
