Our first GBRCTA Tennis Apprentice / Step Up League will start in Mid March 2025. Registration is now open! If you are ready to sign up, click the Blue “Register Now!” button.
There will be four weeks of lessons and two weeks of Step Up League. The sessions will be held every Wednesday, starting March 19, 2025 at the Paula Manship YMCA, Lamar Tennis Center. Each session will be held from 7:00pm - 8:30 p.m.
The fee for all community members is $75/person. This cost includes both instruction and a racquet.
