Tennis Team

Our Tennis Team trains 5 days per week and competes with other clubs and teams in the area as well as at an end of season intra club tournament.  Tennis Team is open for members aged 10 and older.  Tennis Team tryouts are used to determine whether the child will be on JV or Varsity.  The coaches will have to make cuts only if more than 32 kids tryout .  

Team practice is Monday-Friday throughout the same weeks as lessons occur, but team practice will occur in the afternoons, as lessons are in the morning.  Tennis matches are held against the 6 other tennis teams in Glastonbury and are typically held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.  Team players will have the opportunity to practice and play in both single and doubles matches.
