After an incredible start to spring tennis in Cook County,  we are ready to start the summer tennis season.  Next week kicks off another round of junior tennis and a full schedule of adult instruction and weekly tennis play.  Also make sure to add the  CCTA Block Party to your schedule on June 9.   Here is what is coming up starting Monday, June 4.  Full details at playtenniscookcounty.org. 

Junior Tennis Summer Session 1, June 4- July 21. There is still time to register for Summer Session 1. Over 40 kids participated in the spring classes and the sign up for Summer Session 1 has been strong.  Full details and registration at playtenniscookcounty.org.

Deep Tennis Junior Camp, June 18-20.   For junior tennis players 8-18 looking to advance their skills and competitive play.  Under the direction of CCTA Director of Tennis Instruction, Charlie Darley.  The camp’s goal is to build knowledge of and skill at all aspects of a tennis game.  Like all our classes, the camp will dig “deeply” into the multi-layered structure of tennis so our students come away with an in-depth understanding of the game and a greater mastery of the learning (listening, inquiring, analytical), emotional, and athletic skills required to learn and expertly play tennis and all other sports.   This is a unique opportunity to learn from a highly accomplished  tennis professional and psychologist about what it takes to succeed at tennis.    Register at playtenniscookcounty.org.

Drop in Doubles, starting June 4.  A full schedule of tennis and POP Tennis drop-in doubles kicks off Monday June 4.  Check out the schedule at playtenniscookcounty.org.
