JUNIOR PROGRAM

Welcome to junior tennis at MHTC! Our program includes 4 - 90 minute lessons and a junior membership for the season. Lessons run on Saturdays in May for ages 7+ with additional events throughout the season.

​

With lessons wrapping up on May 24, we'd like to share other opportunities for our junior players this summer, including our Singles Tournament, Drop-In Days, Skills Workshops and Singles Ladder:

​
