The YMCA believes tennis is a game for life! Tennis provides great health benefits by improving bone density and increasing cardiovascular fitness levels.
The YMCA offers tennis instruction to all ages and level of players, from new players to those who have been playing for years. Tennis classes run all year round at Portage and Maple.
For those who enjoy playing regularly and enjoy the social aspect of the game, we offer leagues and team opportunities at both locations.
Interested in joining a league USTA team? Contact Corbin Wallace at Portage, or Oak Saad at Maple for more information.
