Tired of sitting at home all day with nothing to do? The New York Junior Tennis League (NYJTL) offers free tennis lessons for kids throughout the city. This is info I gleaned from the organization's website:
This program offers free tennis lessons to children ages 6-18 in the community. Trained coaches provide a comprehensive schedule of instruction, practice and play for all levels. Players develop their skills, make new friends, and learn the rules and sportsmanship of the game of tennis.
Free Summer Programs run July 2 to August 24 unless otherwise specified. Registration is ongoing -- you can sign up at anytime throughout the season.
Crotona Park
East 173 Street
off Crotona Avenue
Mon-Fri 9am -12 noon
Not going to be around Crotona? Here's a list of other locations in the Bronx (and the other, lesser boros).
I hope someone takes advantage of this opportunity to learn how to play tennis. Not because I'm a nice guy, but because I want a tennis partner in the city. Ms. Bernstein offered to play tennis with me a few times, but she always seems to flake out. Plus, if you start learning now, there's a chance you might become good enough to give tennis lessons yourself and charge crazy amounts of money (I, of course, would take a cut of your profits for introducing you to tennis).
