2026 Information for Parents and Players
ALL Sixth Graders are encouraged to join this FREE club sport. The sessions are designed to introduce beginning players to the basic ground strokes and sportsmanship in tennis. To register, click on the link of your school on the right. Registration is online only and is required.
Sessions will be 3:20-4:35pm on the tennis courts at each school, except for Slauson and Clague. Slauson lessons will be held at West Park Tennis courts, and Clague lessons will be held at Forsythe Middle School at 3:30-4:45pm. The sessions are FREE and open to all sixth graders, but 7th and 8th graders are welcome too at some of the schools.
Players should bring all their personal items to the tennis courts after school. Please bring a water bottle and wear athletic shoes. No racquet, no problem! We will provide one. In case of rain or other bad weather, sessions might be moved indoors, but may be canceled. Please listen to school announcements.
Please contact program coordinator Betsy Capelli if you have any questions.
