Have Fun and Improve Your Game!

"In the end it's about trying, failing and improving..."

―Carlos Alcaraz


Drills

Drills are what we call practice and instruction sessions. No sign-ups necessary. Any member is invited to join us. Drills will be cancelled if it rains.

Juniors should be prepared with the following items:

Match Play

Match Play includes participants playing match-type games.

Players need to be able to serve, maintain a baseline to baseline rally, and keep score.  If your child is able to do ALL three things, encourage them to participate in Match Play. Please contact hilojrtennis@gmail.com if your child is interested.  

Match Play Dates for 2025 

Match Play sign-ups will be offered in the months of June and July.


Reserved court time will offered to everyone to sign-up to have a chance to play with other members.  We will do our best to help match levels of play and have supervision for those hours.
