YOUTH PADDLE PROGRAM
Families of the Wilton Community don’t let the winter stop your children from playing outdoor sports. The Wilton YMCA heated platform tennis courts provide the perfect opportunity for fun and fitness, while maintaining social distance guidelines.
Platform tennis is a wonderful racquet sport, which helps your child develop hand-eye coordination, agility, tactical thinking, and most of all the joy of being outside in a fun-filled environment.
The Junior Platform Tennis Program encompasses players from 6 to 16 year of age. All clinics will be organized according to skill levels. All courts are grouped by the pros, with every effort made to create balance.
