Tennis
Welcome to the North Andover Country Club tennis program where we offer recreation, instruction, and competition for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking for a family activity for the afternoon, or wish to sharpen your own tennis skills, the NACC courts suit all these needs.
Four clay tennis courts are available for members to play on. The newly rebuilt backboard on one of the courts provides a great spot to practice on your own. The NACC offers tennis clinics for children, as well as club matches and teams for the more competitive player. Members also enjoy social evenings and a fun playing atmosphere with round-robin events.
No matter what your age or skill level, if you are looking to compete, or just to play for fun, we invite all members to enjoy the camaraderie on the courts, and the beautiful setting right by the lake.
TENNIS RULES AND DRESS CODES
Appropriate, neat tennis attire and appropriate tennis footwear for clay courts are required for ALL players. All players are encouraged to wear white. The tennis staff is authorized to enforce the dress code.
NO bathing suits
Adult Tennis
We are pleased to offer the following tennis programming. We will be running private and group lessons (please contact me to create and/or join a group) throughout the summer, and any pre-existing, or member-organized groups will be extremely appreciated until I have a better handle on individual levels, having groups form themselves will be most efficient. Have no fear, though, if you cannot easily form your own group, as I will absolutely help you find the group that fits your level and schedule. Whether it be Cardio-Tennis, a Beginner Clinic, a more Intermediate/Advanced work-out, a Stroke-specific lesson, a Round-Robin, or another offering, come get your heart-rate going as Rachel and I transform into human ball machines. With a priority of having fun while learning, we really want to meet everyone at their current levels, and help all move forward with their game.

Junior Tennis
Our junior tennis programming will undergo some tweaks this year as well. In order to accommodate multiple schedules, we will now be offering all junior clinics at two times each day. Essentially, there is a morning option and an afternoon option, and my hope is that this enables more kids to find their way onto the tennis court. Each class must have a minimum of three to run, and we will stick to a maximum of six players per court/pro. If none of the times work for you, please contact me to create your own grouping, for times might change based on response and numbers. We will also be encouraging more match play for all levels. In addition to the Varsity/High School travel team, we will also run an assortment of inter-club and intra-club matches for younger players, as well as weekly round-robins. Please see the tennis bulletin board for details. Another slight change in junior tennis this summer will be reduced rate private and semi-private lessons for players 12 and under. My hope here is that more kids will be able to receive more direct 1:1 instruction, and that this will result in more kids engaged and wanting to play a great game. Junior tennis registration will be done on a weekly basis. Please see the attached sign-up information sheet, and submit your desired sessions/days/times as soon as possible. Many thanks, in advance, for committing to this process, for it will be very helpful as we strive to provide the best programming for NACC members.
