JUNIOR TENNIS
The GHYC Junior Tennis Academy is the best instructional and play program for young tennis players on Nantucket. The program is designed for children of all ages and abilities, from those first picking up a racquet to the more experienced tournament players.
They will instruct and challenge your child, building self-esteem through skill acquisition. The young tennis players will be encouraged to participate in our club tournaments, round robins, and matches against other Nantucket clubs.
We are very proud of our continued efforts to provide the best program and best student to instructor ratio on the island. The flexible schedule allows parents to register their players per day, weekly session or any combination.
