Beginning this month, the USTA National Campus is launching one of its most unique and exciting programs. “Let’s Tennis Lake Nona” will begin on September 6, and the month-long program is designed to introduce newcomers to the sport for a lifetime.
For a flat fee of $50, new and novice players will have the opportunity to participate in any or all of the sessions run by USTA National Campus teaching pros, each designed to help beginners learn the basics of tennis.
With tennis participation on the rise throughout the country, Let’s Tennis Lake Nona is the perfect and most affordable way to pick up the sport.
The adult beginner clinics are designed for introductory players and will serve as a preview for regular USTA National Campus programming. Advanced registration is required for each clinic as only those players who have pre-registered will be permitted to attend. For players who don’t own a racquet, the USTA National Campus will provide a loaner racquet to use while at the campus.
Players interested in the Let’s Tennis Lake Nona program can visit www.ustanationalcampus.com/letstennislakenona for more details.
For those between the ages of 5-17, or those looking for regular USTA National Campus programming, the fall session began last month. You can register online for various youth and adult programs.
And for pickleball players, there is now a new opportunity for local players to come meet other players and enjoy the campus’ pickleball courts – at no cost. As part of the new Pickleball Community Drop-In, players will have four chances each week to reserve one of 16 free slots.
The days and times are as follows: Tuesdays 7:30-9:30 a.m. and 7-9 p.m., Wednesdays 7:30-9:30 a.m., and Fridays 7:30-9:30 a.m. Paddles will be available to rent from the pro shop.
Space is limited, and the slots are expected to fill up quickly. Players can register up to seven days in advance.
