We’ve received incredible player feedback!

 

“I'm a twenty-year resident of Port Chester, NY, where, sadly, there are no public tennis courts.  It's always been frustrating to find places to play in the summer months that are nearby and open to nonresidents, much less free.  ​It was such a pleasure last summer to be able to walk or ride my bike to Port Chester High School and play with my many Port Chester tennis friends or the two wonderful pros on hand. I am looking forward to another summer of great tennis in my neighborhood!” Elise Lemire
