You may mail your application
or drop it off in person. We cannot be responsible for late arrivals of mailed applications, so please mail it early, or drop it off in person to be sure. Please be sure to read all the instructions carefully--there's very specific information in these documents about what to do if your group wants two hours of consecutive court time (because each individual can only apply for one hour of court time), how to address your envelope if you mail your application, etc.
(*The $150.00 deposit can be refunded to you if you do not receive any one of your three choices for a court time/day. It will not be refunded if you are awarded one of your three court time/day choices but choose not to accept it.) - The lottery process will begin Monday, April 18 at 10:00 a.m. We'll allocate all the available court time, and do our very best to give everyone one of their three choices of times/days/courts. If you and/or your group does receive seasonal court time, look for written notification from us via mail, on or around June 6, 2011. If you did not receive a court time in the lottery, your deposit check will be returned to you.
- After all the available court time has been allocated for the 32-week 2011-2012 season, we'll send you a bill for the balance of your account (less the $150.00 deposit check). The balance must be paid by August 1, 2011, or your court time will be reassigned.

USTA 10 and UNDER Tennis
This ground-breaking new program from the United States Tennis Association (USTA) gives kids age 10 and under the opportunity to learn real tennis... and have real fun doing it! Using the QuickStart Tennis play format, the classes use racquets, balls and courts that are sized right for kids so that they learn, rally, play, compete and enjoy the game right from the start. The courts are smaller (but still to scale); the balls are lighter, slower-moving and easier to hit; and racquets are smaller and lighter. It's not remedial and not just for beginners--it's real tennis, tailored to a child's size (just like other youth sports like soccer, basketball and baseball have done for years). All classes include warm-up and cool-down activities, skill review and practice, and team games that reinforce tennis skills and tactics. For more information, visit www.10andUnderTennis.com. Visit www.ParkPASS.org and sign up for a class today.
Tennis classes and special programs are available throughout the year for all skill levels and ages, and are taught by accredited USPTA and USPTR instructors. To view seasonal listings of group tennis lessons and sessions, and to register online, visit www.ParkPASS.org, or contact us directly.
Private lessons with accredited instructors are also available. Please call us at 301-905-3030 for more information.
