Tennis and Pickleball

Tennis is a lifelong sport that the entire family can enjoy. Lessons continue throughout the fall weather permitting. Our certified instructor will focus on motor skills and hand eye coordination while teaching your child the basics of tennis, including: forehands, backhands, volleys, overheads, and serves. Kids will have fun learning through drills and games.

Suffolk Parks and Recreation offers youth, teen and adult tennis lessons for the beginners who are just picking up a racquet, to the more advanced intermediate players looking to sharpen their skills! We have 10 tennis courts (4 courts with lighting) surrounding our grassy gazebo pavilion.  Howard Mast Tennis Complex, 4071 North Main St, (behind the Kroger Shopping Center and next to Lake Meade Park).
