Try Play is a fun and engaging 6-hour program offered as a follow-up to Try Tennis.  Players learn the ins-and-outs of playing a tennis match.

 

These play-to-learn sessions consist of instruction and guided play, allowing you to play a match with little to no assistance when you are done. This program is ideal for Try Tennis graduates and beginner tennis players that have very little match play experience.
