2026-27 Adult & Junior Clinic Information

Hello everyone...and Happy Summer!

We hope you and your loved ones are enjoying the start of the Summer and it's filled with lots of quality family time including tennis! The weather has been so hot lately, so if you're playing outside, be sure to stay hydrated, wear sunblock, sunglasses and hats, pack a cooling towel, and find shade if possible. Or you could always play at YTC in the A/C, we have courts available through July 16th!

This past season - our 55th! - is in the books and we hope you enjoyed your time on the court with us. Yonkers Tennis is proud to foster an environment of growth and camaraderie amongst its players, as well as continuing to deliver superior instruction. We continue to implement a philosophy that makes it so much easier to process what is happening on the court since there are thousands of decisions that can be made in just an hour of play. Being able to make that process cleaner for both players and coaches means we spend less time talking and more time hitting!

Here is what we have in store for you this coming Fall season:

Adult Program

Learn Tennis Now (LTN) for Beginners: A fun, heart pumping and engaging five-week session using a nationally credited curriculum designed to learn the basics of tennis in five weeks. Work up a sweat and make new friends all while learning the game of a lifetime! When you graduate, you will be part of the larger adult clinic ecosystem.

2.5-4.0 Clinics: We have TWO 15-week committed sessions. Continuing committed sessions allows both students and coaches to have class consistency throughout the year. All classes will be taught using the D.A.T curriculum, which entails:

• Understanding your contact point
• Confidence in your shot selection and tactics
• Accountability to yourself, your teammates and your coaching staff
• A tough physical and mental skills workout

“No-Strings Flexible Clinics:” For those who can’t commit to a 15-week session, a flexible schedule will be posted mid-September. Simply put… sign-up and play. Sign-ups are strictly week-to-week and are not guaranteed. These flex clinics will be mainly point based and the level will vary.

Match Play Opportunities: To be eligible for a league program/match play, a player has to participate in Adult Clinic, Seasonal or SeaPro programs. We will be announcing the line up and format of this offering in mid-September.

Junior Program

Clinics: We have TWO engaging 15-week sessions, built on retaining and developing players. Each class will work on the following:

• Love for the game
• Confidence in your ability to execute
• Accountability to yourself, your teammates and your coaching staff
• A tough physical and mental skills workout

Match Play Opportunities - Vito Cup is Back! Playing tennis more than once a week is a sure way to see improvements in weeks, so we have created match play opportunities to test those skills learned during clinic time. We will be releasing information in September; match play runs from November through April.

Staffing

Sarah Liddle recently joined the YTC team as Director of Operations.

She comes to us after a year of retirement from a 30+ year career in media and consumer research, and she is very excited to join the team since she is also a longtime player at YTC. When we reopen in September, she will be running the front desk (along with some shifts) as well as focusing on marketing, messaging, communications and assisting the programming team to help give you, our valued customers, the best experience possible!

We also continue to invest heavily in an experienced and nurturing staff. Click the link to find out more about our staff here.

The entire staff looks forward to seeing you back in the building for our 56th year in the relationship business when the courts reopen on Thursday, September 10th. We use tennis as an avenue to bridge and unite all people, and that is truly what our facility excels at: fun, friendship and a passion for the game!

See you on the courts this Fall!
