Wellesley Tennis

At Longfellow Health Clubs in Wellesley, we offer a wide variety of tennis programs for adults and juniors. Whether you're a beginner looking to get started, a seasoned player wanting to refine your skills, or a junior seeking elite training, our programs provide top-notch instruction and a welcoming community. New members can schedule a complimentary evaluation with one of our tennis professionals by contacting Eric Westcott at ericwestcott1@gmail.com.

In the summer of 2024, all six indoor tennis courts at our Wellesley location were fully renovated to enhance both playability and comfort. The upgraded courts now feature professional LED lighting, insulated ceilings and walls for improved visibility, resurfaced surfaces, new nets, backdrops, and divider nets - creating an outstanding environment for players of all levels. To further elevate the experience, we also offer three advanced ball machines and Zenniz video systems for enhanced play analysis.

Adult Programs

  Offered to men and women from an advanced beginner level to the advanced level, the Singles Flex League is an in-house league where players are grouped with others of the same level in a round robin format. You schedule your own matches, making it flexible. There are three sessions of the Flex League beginning in the fall.

  This is a singles tournament-style format for men and women of various levels, offered only in the spring. Players compete in an in-house league with brackets set up for each player. Those eliminated will have the opportunity to play in a back draw.
