Racquet Sports for a Lifetime

Tennis

The benefits of playing tennis are both physical (increased aerobic fitness, strength, and coordination) and mental (improved stress management, sportsmanship, and teamwork). All of acac’s tennis pros are USPTA-certified and offer private instruction, group lessons and clinics for youth and adults. Teams and tournaments create a community of members and offer opportunities for friendly competition.
