Due to the heightened concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus, the Tennis Apprentice program has been suspended. This suspension is in effect through May 31. 

Tennis Apprentice is designed strictly for beginner players. It teaches you the basics of tennis and gets you playing the game fast! All you need is a pair of tennis shoes and a willingness to learn the game of tennis!

USTA Georgia continues to promote and support Tennis Apprentice clinics within the state. We are looking forward to watching our CTA’s grow their participation as well as bring in new competition! For more information on hosting your own Tennis Apprentice program, please see below.

*Only volunteers/staff associated with their Community Tennis Association may host a Tennis Apprentice program*

What will you recieve by hosting a Tennis Apprentice program?

USTA Georgia will provide:

• One set of beginner Head tennis racquets to distribute to each player
• $15 per player to go towards the cost of court fees, pro fees, player party, etc.
• New USTA membership for each participant (upon request from the CTA. Participaint has up to 6 months from the end of their program session to request a membership in order for the CTA to receive reimbursement.)
• Assistance with marketing collateral

Applications must be submitted at least 7 business days prior to the start of your program. If applications are submitted after the 7 business days, we cannot guaruntee that the racquets will arrive on time for your first session.

New for 2020!

The CTA must pay half the cost of a beginner racquet if the player is not registered for a league in Tennislink by December 31, 2020 (approximately $4.75 per racquet)
