The junior program at Greenbelt tennis club offers tennis for children of all levels and ages from 4-18 years old. We use modified equipment and courts for young players to accelerate the learning process. This is called PROGRESSIVE tennis. Classes typically run in the afternoons and on Saturday mornings. Players can expect to be in a class that runs either once a week or 6 times a week depending on their age/level/ability. We have classes/programs for 6 years old who wish to play 2 times a week, for the National level player who wishes to play 6 times a week & for the teenager who wishes to play just once a week and wants to learn tennis for life. Contact Greenbelt Tenmnis Club for more details at (709) 722 3840.
