Rally to one of the finest youth programs in Northfield! Community Education and the Northfield Tennis Association have been working together for years to uphold the strong tradition of tennis in Northfield. Coaches are carefully selected and trained, and are highly skilled, motivational, excellent with kids, and know how to have fun! By utilizing equipment and court dimensions tailored to age and size, coaches will engage participants with innovative and unique training equipment and drills to effectively train youth for the game. Players are strongly encouraged to register for at least two tennis sessions throughout the summer.
