Philadelphia Cricket Club Tennis

The Philadelphia Cricket Club in Chestnut Hill keeps around 20 grass courts alongside nine Har-Tru courts and two indoor courts for winter play. Its tennis department runs a QuickStart introduction for young beginners using smaller courts and low compression balls, junior clinics and private instruction, a summer tennis academy, and interclub competition for stronger juniors. Adults have clinics, organised team practices and men's and women's interclub leagues. Club championships are contested on both Har-Tru and grass, so juniors and adults learn to play on lawn as part of the normal summer season.
