The Mount Auburn Club Tennis Program offers a wide variety of instructional, competitive and social opportunities for players of all levels. We have assembled one of the finest certified teaching staffs in New England. For a player who is new to the game, we offer a system of graduated level clinics that consists of instruction and supervised play. For a more experienced player, we offer our Social Mix and Match, the Ladder and Competitive League Play (both Intra- and Inter-Club) From the beginner to the tournament player, whether you are a social or competitive player, the Mount Auburn Club has a program for you!


Initial Session
A free on-court 40-minute evaluation lesson with one of the Tennis Professionals is your first step in getting started in the tennis program. All programs have a rating category, based on skill level, established by the USTA (United States Tennis Association) which is referred to as the NTRP rating (National Tennis rating Program). The Tennis Professional will give you your NTRP rating, explain the tennis program and give you tips to help your game.
