RACQUETS The Tennis Center offers you four climate controlled indoor tennis courts, six Har-tru clay courts and six hard courts outside under the lights. The newly renovated Pickleball facility has eight outdoor courts and a dedicated Pickleball professional. We offer competitive Pickleball teams that play in two local leagues plus social mixers, and Pickleball clinics, such as Pickleball 101 and 201 Tennis Socials include Mixers, Ladies’ and Men’s Nights and yearly Member/Member and Member/Guest events to look forward to throughout the year. TENNIS LESSONS/CLINICS We have a group of world class tennis professionals, all PTR and USPTA certified. They bring years of expertise in playing and developing all ages and levels of the tennis enthusiast. We offer an all encompassing tennis program that will meet the needs of players of all abilities. Interested in picking up a raquet? Our Tennis 101 and 201 programs are a great place for those that are new to the game or returning to the great sport we love. This program takes the new player and introduces them to the game, through a six week introductory program. At the end of the six week program, each player will have been introduced to all aspects of the game and they can move on to the Tennis 201 program. Our Tennis 201 Program introduces the players to match play skills and tennis strategy. Players who complete Tennis 201 are ready to begin league play in the USTA or ALTA competition.

Director of Racquets Marcus Rutsche The Tennis Department’s mission is to provide our members with an organized agenda of opportunities for a quality tennis experience. We will offer you member services in the form of guidance, instruction, information and attention. Our staff is highly trained and all of our teaching professionals are USPTA or PTR certified.

We take pride in maintaining our outstanding facilities. We develop, promote and maintain programs to satisfy the individual needs and wants of our members, so that they make full use of their “tennis hours.” The bottom line is… We Have Fun! I would love to meet with you personally and extend to you an offer to take a free 30 minute tennis lesson. This will give me the opportunity to meet you, show you around the facilities and answer any questions you might have.

I look forward to seeing you around the courts. Please consider this an open invitation and call me at 770-368-7740.

ALTA AND USTA COMPETITIVE TEAMS ALTA and USTA leagues give our members an opportunity to challenge their tennis skills in many various leagues. Those players that wish to compete in doubles, singles and mixed doubles have numerous avenues throughout the year to represent the AAC. The USTA league program takes place in the summer and winter, while ALTA is played year round. Competition levels range from the novice to the most advanced players. The tennis program is thrilled to have the diverse number of teams that represent the AAC for all levels, genders and ages. The AAC tennis department in conjunction with its’ certified teaching professionals, have developed a comprehensive teaching program for players of all levels. It all starts with our Tennis 101 and 201 programs. Our Rusty Racquets program is a re-introduction to the game for players that have not played in many years. Players with a higher skill level join the staff in High Speed clinics that push each player to develop their skills while working on footwork and advanced strategy.
