Children’s Group Lessons

We are working to add more group lessons, including children’s group lessons.

Where do I park, and how do I access Yates Field House?

Tennis courts are located inside Yates Field House on the campus of Georgetown University. If you are driving, you can enter campus from Canal Road or Entrance #4 on Reservoir Road. We recommend using the free parking at the Leavey Center Parking Garage. Turn onto the road between Leavey Center and the Hariri Building (Business School) off West Rd – the garage will be signed and to the left. For the first class, we will have a staff member on West Road to help with parking and Yates Field House directions.

Give yourself more time as it is about a 5-minute walk up the hill to the Field House.

Campus Map (new window)

There is no parking in the lot adjacent to Yates Field House; those who park in the lot beside Yates risk a $125 dollar ticket.

If I miss a lesson, can it be made up?

We do not offer make-ups for missed group tennis lessons.

Georgetown University has a Protection of Minors Policy to protect those under 18 years of age who participate in programs and activities associated with the University and to provide guidance and requirements that apply to University students, faculty and staff who are involved with such programs and activities. The policy also includes requirements for non-University organizations that operate programs or activities involving minors on campus.
