Welcome to your Tennis Lessons at the Y! We want to take a moment and explain all of our safety procedures and protocols that will be in place to ensure Tennis Lessons are safe, fun and successful during this time.

Face coverings or Masks are required at all times, regardless of vaccination status, during our youth lesson programs. 

Please maintain 6+ feet of distancing at all times while in the Tennis Center.

If you wish to watch your child’s lesson, you will be able to sit in a chair or bench on the side of court 1

If you do not wish to stay for the duration of your child’s tennis lessons, you must drop your student off and be present 5 minutes before the scheduled end time of the lesson to pick up your child.  

All Tennis Instructors will maintain a physical distancing from students as much as possible and adhere to protocols in place to meet Oregon Health Authority (OHA) requirements.
