Tennis is more than just a sport, it’s an opportunity to build healthy habits, create lasting family memories, and connect with the community. This spring, families across Winston-Salem will have a new opportunity to experience the game together through the Winston-Salem Family Tennis Program.
A Community Kickoff Event
The program will begin with a Family Tennis Kickoff Event on Saturday, March 15 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Hispanic League Office, located inside the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness (114 W. 30th Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27105).
This fun and interactive event is open to parents and children of all ages and skill levels. Families will be introduced to tennis through engaging activities such as basic skill demonstrations, games, and beginner-friendly drills led by trained instructors, including one who is fully bilingual.
Participants will also learn about the structure of the upcoming program and discover the many benefits tennis offers, including:
Physical fitness and healthy activity
Social connections within the community
Opportunities for parents and children to learn and play together
The kickoff event aims to create a welcoming first experience with tennis for families who may be trying the sport for the very first time.
Four Weeks of Free Tennis Instruction
Following the kickoff event, families will have the opportunity to continue their tennis journey with four weeks of FREE instruction through the Try Tennis program.

The program emphasizes both skill development and family bonding, encouraging participants to play and practice together while building confidence on the court.
Continuing the Journey: Try Play and Try Match
After the four free weeks conclude, families who want to keep playing can enroll in an eight-week beginner program called Try Play and Try Match. This program will also take place at Serve First and runs on Sundays from April 26 through June 14, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.
