Arlington Junior Tennis Program
Arlington's Junior Tennis Program offers tennis competition for juniors 6-18 for up and coming players at various experience levels. The team provides players the opportunity to test their skills on the court with weekly or bi-weekly match play
Our 
Junior Team Tennis is for everyone. Through the Quick Start Tennis format, kids 10 under play and learn right away because courts, racquets, balls, scoring systems, and even the net height are just their size.
For those older than 10, we have multiple options for your level of play. We have beginning, intermediate, and advanced leagues for ages 11-18. Matches for intermediate and advanced will be played on full size courts with regular tennis balls and beginners will use a slightly “slower” ball so they can quickly learn. Find the program below that is right for you!
