Tennis


Regular tennis play has been demonstrated to improve strength, coordination, agility and balance. We could go on about the health and safety benefits of playing tennis, but above all else, we truly believe that when it comes to any sport it should start with fun. A strong rooted history in good sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie among players, tennis has forever been a social sport that leads to enjoyment. Also, the fresh air doesn’t hurt!

2023 includes programs for new, recreational & competitive players. To access our courts, you require a DRYTC Tennis Membership, or register for the ‘Introduction to Tennis’ in May. Day use passes are also available. 

Join our DRYTC Spond Communication Hub to connect with tennis members, schedule games and keep up with tennis activities & news!
