New York Junior Tennis League

The New York Junior Tennis League has begun its annual spring program offering free tennis to kids ages 6 to18 at various locations in Queens and throughout New York City. Trained coaches will provide a comprehensive schedule of instruction, practice and play for all levels.

The program, which runs through Friday, June 20, also includes special trips, tournaments, contests and educational guidance programs.
