Junior Tennis
Exposing more juniors to tennis is a priority for the Zephyr Cove Tennis Club Foundation. Our free clinic and summer camps allow juniors to learn the sport in a fun environment, hopefully so they will continue to play the rest of their lives.
Juniors’ Free Tennis Clinic
Join us for our annual free tennis clinic for juniors on Saturday, June 7, 2025, from 11am-1pm. Youngsters age 5-12 will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of tennis for free from a professional at Zephyr Cove Tennis Club. Head Pro Dave Nostrant and Bob Beut, USPTA certified instructors, will lead the juniors with the assistance of players from the club. The clinic is open to students throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin as well as the Carson Valley.
A limited number of rackets will be available for those who need one. Come dressed to play – which means athletic wear and non-marking shoes. Be sure to bring water and wear sunscreen. Arrive 15 minutes before the start time. ZCTC will be taking photos. Pizza and cookies will be served afterwards.
***Registration is required*** ***Limited to 50 juniors***
Juniors’ Tennis Camps
Zephyr Cove Tennis Club, through a series of spring, summer, and fall camps, hopes to instill a love of tennis for juniors from age 5 – 17 so they will be playing years from now. The camps will be led by the club’s head pro, Dave Nostrant, a USPTA Elite Pro, who has decades of experience teaching all ages and abilities. The growth of tennis, fun exercise, competition and a sport that will be part of your family for a lifetime is our goal.
