2025 Information for Parents and Players
ALL Sixth Graders are encouraged to join this club sport. The sessions are designed to introduce beginning players to the basic ground strokes and sportsmanship in tennis. To register, go to Swing Hit & Ace and choose your school (or click on your school on the links to the right). Registration is online only and is required.
Sessions will be 3:20-4:35pm on the tennis courts at each school, except for Slauson, which will be held at West Park Tennis courts. The sessions are FREE and open to all sixth graders, but 7th and 8th graders are welcome too at some of the schools.
Players should bring all their personal items to the tennis courts after school. Please bring a water bottle and wear athletic shoes. No racquet, no problem! We will provide one. In case of rain or other bad weather, sessions might be moved indoors, but may be canceled. Please listen to school announcements.
An All-City Team Challenge will be held at the University of Michigan Varsity Tennis Center (2250 S State St) on Wednesday, June 4, 4:00-6:00pm. Players will be transported from their school to the Varsity Tennis Center by AAPS buses. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. Parents must pick up their children or arrange transportation for them at 6:00pm, after the tournament.
Please contact program coordinator Betsy Capelli if you have any questions.
