Registration for Start Smart Tennis opens Monday, June 17 at noon. Start Smart Tennis is the newest addition to CBJ Parks & Recreation’s youth sports lineup, offering a supportive environment for children ages 5-7—together with an adult in their life—to learn the basic skills of tennis.
Register online under the Youth & Teen tab. Registration is first come, first served. All registrations received after the session is full will be placed on a waitlist.
Start Smart Tennis sessions are held 5:45 – 6:45 p.m. every Tuesday from July 9 through August 13 at Cope Park. Children work with an adult in their life to learn skills such as ground strokes, serving, volleying and running/agility without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt. Adults are active participants in the program.
The program costs $40 plus tax and includes a Start Smart t-shirt. Scholarships are available; contact Amanda Lovejoy at (907) 586-2635 ext. 4156 or amanda.lovejoy@juneau.gov for more information.
