Our team has two major goals; teach our students well and make sure they have a ball!

We are passionate about tennis and committed to making sure every student learns new skills while enjoying their time on court. Tennis is a game for life and we hope all of our students continue on to live active and healthy lifestyles.

Our coaches are also students at the club and love being apart of CTC and helping guide our younger players.
