Absolutely no experience is required, and we will group the staff accordingly based on level. Fill out our form and let us know a bit about your organization or business to get started. 

Mix and Match Tennis: In Mix and Match Tennis, play the sport with people at your skill level once a week, and then head out to a bar or restaurant for some food and beverages. Sessions for “Newbies” include instruction from a tennis pro. This program is currently available in Saratoga, Schenectady, and Penfield, New York.

Find Your Level: Find Your Level events are designed to help beginner and returning players acquaint (or reacquaint) themselves with the sport and play with other participants at a similar skill level. This program is currently available at various New Jersey locations.
