RESTON ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES GUIDE
Welcome to Summer!
It’s hard to believe that summer is just around the corner, and we’re thrilled to show you all the exciting ways you can get out and enjoy everything Reston has to offer this season. We have an incredible summer ahead, and with our pools, courts, camps, events and more, we look forward to bringing a fun-filled lineup of programs and events for the whole family.
One of the great things about living in Reston is the abundance of opportunities to get outside and explore nature, whether through our scenic trails, open spaces, or a wide range of recreational programs. Kids can learn to swim, engage in outdoor nature activities, and so much more. At the same time, the entire family can enjoy our pools, tennis and pickleball courts, special classes, and water-based activities. Our Recreation team is thrilled to bring you old favorites and exciting new experiences this summer. Don’t forget — RA Recreation Passes are also available to all members — owners and renters — at no additional charge. Just be sure to activate your passes so you can fully enjoy all that Reston has in store.
After last year’s exciting reopenings of Lake Thoreau and Shadowood pools, we’re thrilled to bring you a full season with all 15 pools this summer, along with expanded hours. Enjoy some time on the water with our boat rental program or take advantage of tennis and pickleball lessons, along with several tournaments throughout the season. Plus, you can join us for movies, ballpark outings and plenty of other fun activities throughout the summer. Explore our many stunning trails and pathways in Reston, meet new friends, and get your steps in along the way.
We’re also hiring seasonal staff! If you know someone looking for a great summer job, we have opportunities in aquatics, camps, maintenance, and more. Many of our seasonal employees return year after year because of the amazing experiences they have here.
As always, we welcome your suggestions for new activities and ways to improve your experience. Please feel free to reach out to me at lkowalski@reston.org with any ideas or questions. We can’t wait to see you out and about this summer!
Experience the FUN as you live, work, and PLAY this summer with Reston Association.

All Reston Association Junior programs follow the USTA standards for player development by using a low-compression ball progression that scales court size, racquet size, and type of ball to the age and size of the player. The ROGY (Red, Orange, Green, Yellow).
RED
Red ball is named after the red foam/felt balls that are used for players that are 3-7 years old. Red balls bounce lower and move more slowly through the air, giving beginning players a chance to set up and take a good swing. Courts at this level are 36 feet long and 18 feet wide.
ORANGE
Once comfortable at the red level, players move to the Orange ball. Typically for ages 8-10. Orange balls bounce higher and move faster than the Red balls but lower and slower than the green balls. They are a step toward the traditional Yellow tennis ball while remaining fun and manageable for players learning the game. Courts at this level are 60 feet by 21 feet.
GREEN
After Orange, the next level is the green dot. Typically for ages 10-12, the Green ball is very similar to the traditional yellow tennis ball but with a slightly lower compression, so it rebounds lower off the court after a bounce. The Green court is the same dimension as the traditional Yellow court: 78 feet by 27 feet.
YELLOW
The Yellow level is what most people know as traditional tennis. Typically ages 12-adults. The balls, courts and racquets at this level are used in high school, college, adult, and professional levels. The court size is 78 feet by 27 feet.
MUNCHKINS TENNIS
