2025-26 Adult & Junior Clinic Information

Hello to you all,

Year 55 and still going strong!

Just saying that out loud is something special. Yonkers Tennis is proud to foster an environment of growth, camaraderie, and top-tier instruction—that’s our mandate, plain and simple.

This commitment has earned us recognition not only locally and regionally but also internationally, from organizations like the USTA and Tennis Australia.

Last month, we were honored to host the Tennis Australia Top Operators Tour, a delegation of 10 of their leading tennis professionals—along with two guests from Great Britain’s Lawn Tennis Association. Their U.S. tour highlighted some of the most innovative and successful facilities in the country, and we were thrilled to engage in meaningful conversations about the future of our sport.

YTC was honored to be selected as one of just five clubs across the U.S. This incredible opportunity for global collaboration, idea sharing, and professional growth is a testament to the hard work we’ve put into not just promoting tennis but building lasting relationships and an inspired community centered around you, our players.

What stood out most to the visiting delegation?

The natural warmth and hospitality of our staff, and the impact YTC is having on tennis participation and retention—especially through our junior programs. When you send your player to YTC, we’re not just thinking about their next match… we’re thinking long-term. We aim to see them playing through high school, into adulthood, and beyond.

Many of our juniors have transitioned into our adult programs, thriving both socially and in the everyday challenges of "adulting." We take pride in knowing we played a role in their growth—not just as athletes, but as people. We stand by our commitment to be part of the village that helps raise your player.

Now here’s what we’ve got in store for you this season:

Adult Program

Learn Tennis Now (LTN) for NEW Beginners: A fun, heart pumping and engaging 5-week session using a nationally credited curriculum designed to learn the basics of tennis in 5 weeks. Work up a sweat and make new friends all while learning the game of a lifetime!

2.0-4.0 Clinics: We have TWO 15-week committed sessions. Continuing committed sessions will allow us to have better player and 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 both theme based and level locked.

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

Jr. Match Play Opportunities: Following the roaring success of our adult match play program, we're bringing that same energy and mindset to our junior players. Our revamped Junior Match Play will shift away from a focus on tournaments and "level status," and instead emphasize team-based competition and community-building. Full details and the new format will be announced ahead of the season start—stay tuned!

Staffing

We’ve made a few changes behind the scenes to help streamline our service to you: Coach Vito Galatioto will continue as Director of Programming, working alongside Noelle DelGiudice (Junior Programming) and our newest team member, Deanna Santoro (Adult Programming). You may already know Deanna from playing tennis together or from the key role she has had in developing YTC’s Adult Matchplay and USTA League structure. Please help us officially welcome Deanna!

For any billing inquiries, please contact Michele DelGiudice, who will now be handling all billing-related matters.

We continue to invest in a dedicated, experienced, and nurturing coaching staff. Click here to learn more about our amazing team. Each of our coaches brings incredible energy to the court, and I can’t wait for you to meet them!

P.S. – No matter your style or level, we’ve got someone for everyone!

Warmly,

The YTC Team
