Kalamazoo Tennis Lessons and Leagues

A game for life!  Tennis provides great health benefits, improves bone strength and density, and aerobic fitness.

The YMCA offers tennis instruction to all ages and level of players from tots to adults, from new players to those who have been playing for years. Tennis classes run all year round with our indoor and outdoor courts at both Portage and Maple Branches, as well as at our tennis annex. During school breaks and summer, we offer special programming for teens and youth.

For those who enjoy playing regularly and enjoy the social aspect of the game, we offer leagues and team opportunities at both locations.
