Platform Tennis Program at The Chapel Hill Tennis Club

Platform Tennis is an American racquet sport enjoyed by thousands of people of all ages. It is the only racquet sport that was created to be enjoyed outdoors in cold weather. This unique appeal attracts people who desire fresh air, competition, and social engagement - all on a chilly winter's night.



All levels, including new players, encouraged to come outdoors this winter to experience paddle excitement, fun, exercise, and camaraderie.
Demo paddles available (sharpen your tennis volley, mind, and reflexes for spring tennis).
