Free Tennis Classes in Sun Lakes
Join us every Monday at the Cottonwood Tennis Courts starting at 6:30 p.m. for free, hands-on tennis instruction. Open to anyone interested in learning or improving their game, these sessions are sponsored as part of the Cottonwood/Palo Verde HOA Outreach Program. You do not need to be a member of the Cottonwood Tennis Club (CTC)—you just need to live in the Sun Lakes area.
Whether you are starting entirely from scratch or looking to brush up on skills after years away from the court, these classes cater to all experience levels. Multiple courts are utilized during each session to ensure players are grouped with others of similar ability.
