Get ready for a fantastic day on the courts at the 4th Annual Tiger Tennis Social! Whether you’re a seasoned player or just getting into the game, this event is all about enjoying great tennis, good company, and a lively social atmosphere.
Join us on Friday, April 25that Seven Hills Swim & Tennis for an unforgettable day of play. The courts will be buzzing with friendly competition, engaging drills, and plenty of opportunities to sharpen your skills while having fun. With expert-led sessions and match play, it’s the perfect chance to challenge yourself, meet fellow tennis enthusiasts, and enjoy the sport in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Enjoy a lunch from Greenery & Co., sip on drinks while mingling, browse the 40-Love tennis clothing pop-up show, and take part in an exciting raffle featuring amazing prizes from local favorites. Even if you’re not playing, you can still be part of the fun—grab a spectator pass, cheer on your friends, and soak in the lively atmosphere.
It’s going to be an incredible day filled with energy, laughter, and plenty of tennis action. Tickets go on sale soon!
Help spread to word to any families with incoming Kindergartners!
SAVE THE DATE! Help us celebrate the end of the school year and the end of an era as we say goodbye to our current building and help Percy move to his new building!

Join us for a moving ceremony, tiger dash around both buildings, time capsule burial, DJ Louie, treat trucks and MORE!
