Youth Beginner Tennis
Program Description: 
This program is designed to introduce young children to the sport of tennis and provide them with a fun and engaging experience. The goal of this program is to teach participants the basic fundamentals of tennis and provide them with a love for the game. Activities and drills will focus on developing hand-eye coordination, footwork and racquet skills. This is an opportunity for children to learn new skills, make friends, and develop a love for the game that can last a lifetime. 

About the Instructors:
Emily Mills (Lindsley) has been playing tennis since she was young and actually went through the Bristol Park and Recreation Tennis Programs herself.  She played #1 Singles at St. Paul Catholic High School from freshmen to senior year. In high school, she was the NVL Singles Champion for multiple years and was named to the Bristol Press All Press team. She went on to play D2 Women’s Tennis at Stonehill College and then D1 Women’s Tennis at the University of Hartford. She loves the game and can’t wait to meet everyone!

Brittany Petrucci is a passionate and thoughtful tennis coach. She played #1 doubles at Saint Paul Catholic High School in 2014 and 2015, and was named All-Press by The Bristol Press both years.

Presently, Brittany hopes to inspire young tennis players to improve and develop their skills on the court.
