Try Tennis®
Try Tennis® sponsored by WWTA and NC Tennis! This program is for men and women age 18 & over who have never picked up a racquet or have played very little. It includes 6 hours of instruction from a pro on technique, skills, etiquette & scoring. Each new participant receives a tennis racquet and a swag item – all for only $40. The only strings attached to this deal are the ones to your new racquet! Space is limited so sign up quickly. Check back for more Spring Try Tennis® Sessions! Visit TryTennis.Net for more information.
Why Try Tennis? This is what one of our 2021 Try Tennis graduates, Paula L. , says about the program: It’s no exaggeration to say that Try Tennis changed my life. I joined in early spring after that first horrible Covid winter, when we were all losing our minds a bit. I had been so stressed out over my kids and oddly isolated despite us all being cooped up together. Suddenly, I was outside in the sun, learning a new sport, and meeting new people, many of whom have become my very good friends and teammates. I play tennis almost everyday now and it’s my favorite part of the day. So thanks to you guys for giving us Try Tennis!
