By Meghan Perkins
I recently enrolled my child at Mt. Zion Tennis Academy and one of the first things I noticed was the close relationship between the coaches, players, and parents. It is a really tight-knit community, where every player is treated in a personalized way. Great group of coaches, flexible hours, and great opportunities for both children and adults. The Mt. Zion community consistently proves to be very knowledgeable, ethical, and professional
By Alan Donnelly
I cannot say enough amazing things about Mt. Zion Tennis Academy. After moving to Mt. Zion, my son who was seven at the time began taking tennis lessons with them. I simply wanted him to have some kind of extracurricular activity to take up his free time. In the end, he gained so much more. My son is currently eight and is still taking his tennis lessons. He absolutely loves it. I will definitely continue encouraging him to continue his lessons.
By Agwe Smith
My wife and I absolutely love Mt. Zion Tennis Academy. Our child’s instructor is by far the most patient person I have met. He is great with kids. I appreciate the fact that the facility gives us the opportunity to attend his lessons. We are happy, grateful, and excited to have discovered Mt. Zion Tennis Academy.
