Welcome to Brookline Tennis Academy
We are excited to announce that the Brookline Tennis Academy will be back in action for all programs in 2021! We will be operating at a NEW, FABULOUS location. The Roxbury Latin School is nestled in the heart of West Roxbury on 117 acres, only 4.6 miles from our previous site at Pine Manor College. 12 beautiful NEW tennis courts are located in a quiet part of campus, surrounded by trees. Join Brookline Tennis Academy for “Tennis in the Woods.”
Our mission is to bring you top-quality tennis programs. You will be working with a team of experienced tennis pros under the direction of Shelly Mars. Shelly has been involved in organizing and running adult & junior tennis programs since 1990. We offer a comprehensive tennis program for all, offering the finest facilities, staff and unique teaching methodology that incorporates a progressions teaching format geared to an individual’s ability. We emphasize skill building, stroke development and, most importantly, FUN!
Tennis for KIDS
Our junior clinics focus on building all of the primary skills kids need to develop into successful tennis players, including etiquette and general knowledge of tennis. Students receive an introduction to basic tennis principles and work on refining all of the basic shots: forehand, backhand, serve and volley. Each class has a structured lesson plan with goals to be achieved. Point play is used after a new technique is introduced to reinforce the newly learned skill.
Tennis for ADULTS
The Brookline Tennis Academy’s program for Adult tennis players is a comprehensive approach taking into account each individual’s ability, skill building and stroke development. The Academy offers the finest facilities, staff and a UNIQUE TEACHING METHODOLOGY that incorporates a progressions teaching format.
