The Rising Stars Tennis Program is for youth between the ages of 8 and 17 years.  The program’s goal is to provide tennis lessons to youth who typically do not have access to tennis lessons or tennis facilities with the objective of building skilled and competitive high school players.

Rising Stars Tennis is sponsored by the Greater Madison Tennis Association (GMTA) and is funded in part through a grant from the Wisconsin Tennis Association (WTA).   The fee for participants is only $30.

The format for this summer’s program is similar to past sessions.  Drills and skill building games will be on Tuesdays with the younger or moderate players playing first in Group A.  Saturdays begin with Group B (older moderate to advanced) who will work on skills for the first hour then move to other available courts to play games.  Group A plays second on Saturdays and will work on skills and games.  Parent participation is desired for ball picking up, attendance, and equipment storage.  A sign-up schedule will be available on the first day of the session.
