Near West Recreation Tennis is part of our Learn to Play Series, designed to introduce youth to the fundamentals of the game in a fun, clinic-style format. Unlike traditional leagues, there are no formal teams or games—just a great opportunity for kids to try out tennis in an affordable, non-competitive setting.

The Learn to Play Tennis takes place late summer. Registration opens in June.
