The early morning winter program runs from November through March and has worked with over 10,000 youth over the last 25 years.
The program concludes with the Hartman Cup Tournament which includes players from each of the winter program sites. Nine indoor tennis centers have donated courts for those that are interested in participating. Each site provides loaner tennis racquets and balls and special events are included as well.
Parents must register their children in person at the indoor tennis club that they select during program hours.
