Youth Tennis Rocky Mount, NC
The heart of Youth Tennis is the 20th year of COMPLETELY FREE group summer tennis lessons called SUMMER FUN TENNIS 2026 or SFT26.
SUMMER FUN TENNIS 2026
SFT26 is COMPLETELY FREE because the program uses the Sunset Park public tennis courts, there are no umpires to pay, all balls/equipment for the program have already been paid for, and the instructor(s) donate their time and knowledge. However, parents need to help pick up balls, move the players from line to line, etc. as needed or requested especially with the 3-6 and 7-10 year old groups.
SFT26 dates have not been set. However it will run sometime between mid-May 2026 and the end of July 2026 with different ages/genders meeting different days. All groups welcome true beginners except the Coed 15-18 year old group. By agreement, a younger more advanced player can move up to an older age group. Registration is YEAR ROUND so, you may register NOW for Summer Fun Tennis 2026.
