☀️ SPRING TENNIS EDITION 🌷

TO OUR YTC COMMUNITY,

May is National Tennis Month... and we at the club have a lot to celebrate! We are grateful to be a big piece of our very eclectic community. The game has been good to all of us, so we want the month of May to be about spreading the joy of tennis within and beyond our circle.

Last summer, we made a commitment to the growth of the game by introducing the Learn Tennis Now initiative. We were able to bring in 125 participants, with the majority of these players successfully navigating their way into mainstream tennis players!

Continuing on our track to bring tennis to thousands of participants over the next decade, we are continuing this program starting May 6th. Details are below, however, we want to let you know that if a player signs up and does not have a friend to bring, we are going to gift the spot to a person who may never have an opportunity to experience tennis otherwise.

After you peruse the rest of our Spring/Summer line-up for May, June & July, take some time to read about and participate in our collaboration with White + Warren to help fundraise for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Campaign. Details for the raffle & participation are at the bottom of the newsletter.

We are here because you choose tennis as a contact point to mental & physical health, as well as a continuing bridge to build friendships. Thank you for your incredible support and continued participation throughout our building.

We are YTC, YOUR Tennis Center!

Learn Tennis Now

Beginner Tennis Initiative

Yonkers Tennis is continuing one of it's biggest projects ever. In the spirit of good ol' Coach Pat Rogers, we are going to spread the game of tennis across Westchester County and portions of New York City.

The idea is simple: We want to expose tennis to 2000 players who have never picked up a racquet in the next 5 years. How do we do that?

5 Beginner Classes for $199 and Bring a Friend for Free!

With FIVE lessons over 5 weeks, Learn Tennis Now will take you from a Beginner to a Player. The program includes:

• Orientation Party (Thursday May 2nd @ 6pm)

• 5 hours of instruction taught by certified coaches

• Racquets to use while you learn

• Free court time*

• End of Session Party (June 14th | July 19th)

• Tons of Fun!

This is the ideal gift for all those we love and want to showcase the game to. Our goal is to expose and grow grassroots tennis across our area.

Dates: May 6 - June 10 | June 5 - July 19

Sign up begins April 1st, 2024
