Tennis
Welcome to the Chicopee Tennis Club! We are now celebrating our 29th year here at this beautiful quiet setting. There are a number of reasons why this is the best summer club in the tri-city region. First of all the Har-Tru courts are the finest in the area. This is due to our meticulous maintenance schedule that begins when opening the club and continues throughout the season. This surface is the most comfortable to play on and it is easy on the body especially if you have any knee or back problems. Another advantage when playing on Har-Tru courts is that it enables the average player to maintain better rallies, as the pace of play is slower than a typical hard court.

Private Lessons Tennis
The perfect way to work on your game and take it to the next level. One-on-one instruction moves you along at an accelerated pace, your pace. Our professional staff will strengthen your fundamental skills, take the things you do well, refine them and show you how to use those strengths to give you the advantage every time you walk on the court. Book a private, semi-private or group lesson with our Head Pro or Assistant Pro. They can accommodate any level player, from beginner to advance.
