Our tennis program started in 2020 at the Bittersweet Swimming & Tennis Association, in the heart of Greeley, Colorado. Since that time our program has outgrown the Bittersweet facilities, and we have partnered with the Greeley Country Club to help as many kids as possible learn this great game and hopefully go on to play top level, high school, college, and national tennis. In recent years there has been a decline in tennis, especially youth tennis in Greeley and Northern Colorado and we wanted to change that. We have gathered up top tennis coaches who have either grown up or played tennis in the Greeley and Northern Colorado area to keep local tennis alive and well. We are all looking forward to getting our kids back on the Tennis Courts in Northern Colorado. We have also expanded to include tennis and pickleball lessons for adults.
