Our goal is simple: every player leaves with a deeper love for the game.

What should we bring? A water bottle and hat or visor for sunny days. Proper tennis shoes are required on clay courts; no aggressive-soled shoes.

When my son was 9, a friend asked him to join him for a week of tennis camp. That one week of tennis camp in the summer of 2022 sparked a love for tennis like no other! He has since done every week of tennis camp during the summer, as well as clinics and private lessons year round. The coaches have poured into him and continued to challenge him as his skills have improved. We are so thankful to have found Riverside Tennis Club and for the safe, positive, and fun environment that they provide!
