With SLJT we prioritize camaraderie, character growth, respect, discipline, and of course fun ahead of winning and losing. We utilize a curriculum that allows students to progress with success at every step of the way. We strive to teach much more than tennis and are proud to offer you a program where our students feel more like a family than opponents. Simultaneously we strive to teach rock solid fundamentals, tactics, mental fortitude, physical fitness, and overall general health.
For questions, please contact Jesse Schouten at 425.745.1617 ext. 2240 or Elliot Beam at ext. 2239.
