A variety of tennis activities are available in Coral Springs in the upcoming months.
This Saturday, the Coral Springs Tennis Center will organize the Winterfest charity Pro-Am tournament from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. All proceeds will benefit the Coral Springs Community Chest. At 11:30 a.m., there will be a hit-for-prizes contest, followed by a fast serve contest. The cost is $15 and includes lunch. Spectators are welcome and anyone may have lunch for $10.
Registration is also open for group tennis lessons this fall at the center and Cypress Park. Sessions begin the week of Nov. 17 and go through Dec. 13, with no class on Thanksgiving Day.
Group classes will be offered for all ages and skill levels. USPTA certified tennis professionals instruct all classes. Junior classes are offered weekdays after school and on Saturdays, while adult classes are scheduled weekday mornings and evenings.
