Yonkers Tennis Community...
Welcome back to our new season! We feel extremely fortunate to be in the position to provide you with tennis, the healthiest sport in the world!
Our 54th year has officially started on Monday September 16th! Saying that out loud fills us with tremendous pride. A legacy was created by ownership in 1971 that we take very seriously. Our commitment to both players and staff is simple; Create an environment for maximizing learning, nurturing friendships and keeping healthy through the game of tennis
The US Open has us energised and was such a treat to watch. Many of our staff went to the Open in some capacity (pictures below); with our Director of Tennis coaching 3 players in the US Open Jr Qualifiers and Main Draw!

Onto some tennis...
As a team, our objective is to deliver a product that is easy to digest and simple to execute. We have tied our teaching philosophy around the 4-core DAT principles:
-
Starting the point
-
Settling into the rhythm of the rally
-
Setting up an opportunity to exploit
-
Finishing off the point
These principles are the bedrock of our programming, as it not only sets you up for tennis, it sets you up for the many challenges of life.
Now that you know what we are about, anytime you are in a class, you must ask the coach, "Which principle does this drill/challenge tie into?"
Thank you for your support and continued participation in our building.
We are YTC, YOUR Tennis Center!
