Welcome to the Wayside Tennis Academy!
We are excited to announce that Wayside Tennis Academy (WTA) and New England Tennis Center (NETC) have partnered together and will be running our junior tennis programs starting in September of 2023! Our junior tennis program offers one of the most experienced professional teaching teams in the region.
Beginning at age 5, children learn the game of tennis – the basics, the techniques, and strategies. When they are ready, they can progress to competitive play.
