Junior Tennis Academy

Travers Island

The Junior Tennis Academy includes fun games and challenging drills designed to teach our juniors game fundamentals and help them appreciate this sport of a lifetime. All skill levels welcome. For our younger participants, we use modified courts and equipment to build confidence and produce longer rallies and point play. Each week is filled with engaging activities, including stroke-of-the-day instruction, team and individual competitions, target hit games and enjoyable fitness drills. Lunch will be provided for participants in the all day program option.

Transportation is now available for our NYC residents to take advantage of our Junior Programs at Travers Island. Children will be able to participate in one of the four packages described below, get access to transportation, and explore Travers Island. Children will be picked up by a private bus company beginning at 7:15am. There will be a dedicated staff member who will check in and supervise the children on the bus. Children will be brought to Travers Island and dropped off at their morning program by staff. Once their morning program is over, they will be picked up by a staff member and have a light snack before going to their afternoon program. During the afternoon program, there will be a break for lunch which will be provided by the Club. At 3pm, the children will be picked up and brought to the buses for departure.
  • Pick-up and drop-off locations must be submitted at the time of registration. Cancellations or adjustments to the bus route must be made by May 15th, 2026, and e-mailed to [email protected]. Any cancellations or adjustments to the bus route made after the deadline will be subject to an administrative fee.
  • Parents/Guardians must be at the pick-up and drop-off location each day their child is registered. Names must be listed in the "Authorized Pick-up/Drop-off Contact" section of the registration. Parents/Guardians must present a valid form of identification to the staff member on board.
  • Additional authorized contacts must be at least 18 years old. Last minute authorization requests may be considered 24 to 48 hours before the pick-up and drop-off. All authorization requests will be confirmed by the Manager of Youth Programs.
  • Failure to have an authorized adult present or a valid form of identification at the pick-up and drop-off location will result in the child being brought to the City House and will be subject to a late pick-up fee.
