Zephyr Cove Tennis Club, through a series of summer programs, hopes to instill a love of tennis for youngsters in grades 1-8 so they will be playing years from now.

Deanne Larsell, who has been teaching tennis for 35 years, will be leading the clinics. Larsell puts the fun in fundamentals and has the expertise to develop abilities of more advanced players so they are comfortable on the court without a coach.
