Schenectady Racquet & Fitness

The SRFC approach to tennis instruction is to emphasize match play as well as stroke mechanics. All junior classes will include some kind of match play. Students will be able to perform independently on the tennis court and participate in leagues, ladders and tournaments.

All of our instructors are highly trained and experienced, assuring you that your child will learn and improve rapidly.

MEMBERSHIP

Juniors participating in lessons are required to be SRFC members prior to enrolling. The junior membership fee is $35 for the 2003–2004 season and allows full membership privileges, as well as access to discounted court rates and specials.
