Welcome to the Yarbrough Tennis Center

The Yarbrough Tennis Center is a public facility where anyone can play for the following fees: $3/person hard court, $5/person clay court and $10/person indoor court. Memberships are also available that allow you to reserve courts and play without a fee.

Registration

All memberships, clinic registrations and private tennis lesson payments are done through Parks and Recreation's MyRec registration system at auburnal.myrec.com.

Group Clinics

Group city clinics are available for all levels. Children's clinics run Monday through Thursday afternoons and are designed for beginners. If your child is progressing and enjoys tennis, we have intermediate private group classes. Group clinics for adults are available in the mornings and at 6:30 p.m. If you have questions regarding levels, email Francois Bosman.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are available with six different tennis pros. They typically cost about $60/hour. If you have a group, the costs can be split. Lesson requests may be made through MyRec. You will be matched with an instructor based on your availability.
