The Middle School Tennis Program competes in the AIPSL. The season runs from the end of March through May on select Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 - 6:00PM.  Since court times are reserved for league games, there will be little to no practices, and we, therefore, ask those joining the program to have at least one year of formal tennis instruction and some match play experience.  All matches are played at the courts at 119th St. in Riverside Park.  Players should expect a schedule of six matches provided we don’t get rained out.

 

Match Play on Tuesdays and or Thursdays from 4:00 - 6:00PM

First practice is Tuesday, March 28, 2023
