The hard courts will remain open for tennis and pickleball play. With only 3 courts during the winter season, I ask all members to please contact the Pro Shop for court reservations or the ball machine. Additionally, all clinics and lessons will take priority over open play and will also be weather permitting. Stay safe and we hope to see you on the courts!

RACQUET SPORTS PRO SHOP | Just in time for Christmas!

We have received a new shipment of high quality Pickleball Paddles in the tennis shop. Check out the latest models from Paddletek, Gamma and Vulcan. We also have the Penn 40 outdoor pickleballs, approved by the USAPA in 3 and 6 packs.

For the tennis player, we have a full line of Yonex Junior rackets in 21”, 23” and 25”. Full size rackets are also in stock. Come out to the courts and demo the Yonex VCORE and Ezone sticks.
