Reno City Council Member Devon Reese is teaming up with Tennis Nation Racquet Sports to host a free tennis and pickleball day on Saturday, September 25, 2021 from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Reno Tennis Center located at 2601 Plumas Street in Reno.  

A fun event for the entire family, participants are invited to enjoy free tennis classes offered by experts at Tennis Nation Racquet Sports, face painting, lunch from local food truck, emPIEnada, and dessert from Rita’s Italian Ice. The event is generously funded by Councilmember Reese through his Council funding. 

“We are very fortunate to have great tennis and pickleball courts throughout the City of Reno, as well as passionate experts who love introducing the sports to interested residents,” said Reese. “Through Saturday’s free tennis and pickleball family day, I hope to see families coming together to enjoy some quality time outdoors and learn the basics of two family-friendly sports. My ultimate goal is that they have such a great experience they’re inspired to come back and enjoy the sports again on their own.” 

Saturday’s class schedule is as follows:

10 - 11 a.m.

• Intro to Pickleball Class (Max 24 Participants)

11 a.m. - 12 p.m.

• Adult Intro to Tennis Class (Max 24 Participants)

12 - 1 p.m. 

• Pickleball Up & Down Event: Point Play (Max 32 Participants)

• Open Tennis & Pickleball Play for All

All registrations for classes are taken at the Reno Tennis Center on the day of the event and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Tennis racquets and equipment will be provided; however, participants are encouraged to bring their own pickleball paddles as inventory is limited. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times during the event.
