Beginner Tennis Programs with Tennis in the Parks

Our beginner programs where kids and adults play while they learn!

Start. Learn. Play. Tennis for all! This program has introduced more than 12,000 kids and adults to the sport of tennis since 2018!

In partnership with our sponsor Wilson Sporting Goods, we work with local parks and recreation departments throughout New England to offer this program for first-time and beginner players.

Tennis in the Parks runs during the spring, summer and fall sessions and our programs are typically groups by grades/age: Grades 1-2, Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8 and adult programs.

We’re always looking for our next great coach or parent volunteer! If you’re interested, click here. We require SafeSport certifications and a background check. You don’t need specific tennis experience to volunteer or coach – we provide training and guidance.
