Racquet Sports

Foothills has enjoyed a prestigious reputation as one of the prominent historical sites for Tennis in the south bay area.

For more than 35 years, our tennis program featured Henry Kamakana, a regional tennis legend as the tennis director. In recent years we have expanded to have a popular Junior 'Fireballs' program for members and non-members alike, as well as offering recreational pickleball. First and foremost the Foothills tennis program features a relaxed, fun environment with the option to incorporate more serious tennis training or lessons.

At Foothills we have 6 Tennis courts and 1 dual Tennis/Pickleball Court and offer clinics, private lessons, social mixers, and participation in USTA or one of our high level Jr. development Tennis programs.

Currently the director of Tennis is Mariano Parris, a former top ranked Argentinian Pro. Mariano's philosophy centers around basic fundamentals with an attention to correct kinetic body alignment. Mariano accepts all levels for private lessons and will help with specific skill development upon request.

Private Tennis Lessons

Private tennis lessons are available for ages 5 through adult and run year-round but depend on instructor availability. Lessons are scheduled on a day-to-day basis; you may register for as many lessons as frequently as you’d like. Lessons are private, 30 or 60-minutes in duration. If interested in semi-privates, please bring players that are close to the same ability and book your lessons together.
