We have helped thousands of adult players jump into the amazing sport of tennis and hope to help you as well.  Whether you are brand new to the sport or returning after a long break, we’ve got you covered.

PROGRESSION IDEAS

High quality instruction goes a long way and pairing on-court coaching with an Instagram or Youtube digital coach is a sure way to quickly progress your tennis skills, knowledge, physical and mental fitness.
Here we list ways you can progress your game:

  • 2 HOUR CRASH COURSE WITH HTC
    On Friday evenings and Saturday mornings experienced coaches in the Memorial, Heights & Friendswood area offer 2 hour crash courses. You will get to develop your strokes and skills in a friendly environment.
    Sign up for a date that works for you.
  • JOIN A COURSE that meets 1 or more times per week with our organization or a local country club.
  •  Grab a friend or loved one and sign up for PRIVATE LESSON package with an experienced tennis pro. Private tennis coaching is typically $80 to $100 per hour and goes down when committing to a package of lessons. Keep in mind that you will be progressing faster with this option, and you can team up with someone to share the cost.
  • Many public facilities around Houston have HITTING WALLS which is a great way to practice solo. *Warning* you better be on your game because the wall never misses :0
    Not only is it a great way to improve your strokes, aim and footwork, but it’s also a fantastic workout!

PUT YOUR PRACTICE TO THE TEST 

  •  When you are ready to hit the courts for a hitting session or match, download the FUZZYSPIN app for free to connect with thousands of Houston tennis players.

ADULT RACQUETS

  • Head Instict MP
    This mid weight racquet is perfect for beginning men and women at the beginning to intermediate level. If your wrists or forearms are small and lack strength we suggest skipping and opting for a lighter racquet (see below).
  • Head Instict L
    This light weight racquet is a great choice for beginning women and juniors aged 10 to 12.

*we suggest the grip size of 4 3/8 – if you have quite large hands then opt for 4 1/2

JUNIOR RACQUETS

  • Dunlop CX
    High quality racquet perfect for juniors 6 to 8 years of age at the beginning to advanced beginner playing level.
    Head Boom 26″
    We love the Head Boom for juniors 8 to 10 years of age and at the beginning to intermediate playing level.
