Because we are blessed with excellent, year-round good weather, there's nothing stopping you from getting out and improving your ground stroke, serve or volley. Whether you're looking to pick up a match near the Gulf or on a well-lit, Har-Tru court with downtown Sarasota nightlife as your backdrop, the area abounds with courts, players and instructors that will satisfy every skill level.
