Fall tennis club
A weekly program with lasting impact.
Fall Tennis was a sustained program, not a one-time event. Across ten sessions at the Northampton courts, children and parents had repeated opportunities to learn, practice, improve, and play before academic classes.

Red Ball Tennis made room for the whole family.
Smaller courts, slower red balls, and modified equipment made it easier for new players to rally and enjoy the game. At HXCS-LV, children learned alongside their parents instead of parents only watching from the sidelines.
