New!!! Kids Tennis League

Roseville/Eastpointe

Register at: Roseville

June 17- July 28

Each week, kids will play 3 to 4 short doubles or singles matches, rotating partners each match.

We will use a ladder format. On each court, the player who wins the most games will move up one court the next week. The player who wins the fewest games will move down one court. This format groups players of similar ability together so we have competitive matches.

Balls will be provided. Kids need a racquet, court shoes (no sandals or crocs), water bottle, and any long hair must be secured to it stays out of their eyes.

7-10yr olds 530-630pm

Beginners welcom here, simplified serving and simplified scoring.

11-17yr olds 630-830pm

This is a league for kids 11-17yrs who have some tennis experience, know how to serve and keep score, and want to get some low-pressure, fun match play experience.

This time slot, 630-830pm, is a league, not a lesson. Kids must know how to serve and keep score with minimal help.
