518 SOCIAL TENNIS
Partnered with USTA Eastern and 15-LOVE, we’re dedicated to fostering tennis social play in the Capital Region. Join us for a variety of exciting tennis events.
Red Ball Tennis
Adult Red Ball Tennis is a fun, beginner-friendly 5-week program to learn tennis without the pressure of full-court play. Using slower red balls and smaller courts, players rally quickly, move more confidently, and enjoy real games from day one. It’s social, active, easy to learn, and perfect for adults looking to exercise, meet people, and have fun while learning tennis in a relaxed environment.
One make-up day will be scheduled at the end of the session for weather-related cancellations. Due to unpredictable fall weather, additional make-up classes cannot be guaranteed, and no refunds will be issued.
101 Tennis for Adults
Tennis 101 for adults is a structured, beginner-friendly 5-week program designed to teach fundamental skills—groundstrokes, serves, volleys, and scoring—using low-compression balls(red, orange, green) for faster learning. It focuses on proper grips, basic movement, and rallying, allowing adults to start playing matches.
