Youth Tennis

NORA offers a 5th/6th grade after school tennis league at White Pines Intermediate School in the winter, and a spring program at the GHHS tennis courts. We also offer a 3rd/4th grade tennis program at the local elementary schools in the winter. The youth tennis leagues are a fun, skill-based program designed to introduce kids to the sport of tennis through practice and play in a low-pressure, supportive league format. Open to youth players of all experience levels, the league focuses on developing fundamentals while building confidence, sportsmanship, and a love for the game.
