Tucson is one of the best deals in junior tennis: the Reffkin Tennis Center charges kids $1.50 for 90 minutes of court time, USTA runs free beginner junior classes, and the city keeps 24 more courts free elsewhere.
Private tennis lessons in Tucson typically run $60–90/hr.
Arizona Tennis Association junior group sessions run $16–32/class and USTA lists free beginner junior classes at Reffkin; private-lesson rates estimated from regional norms.
Group clinics and junior programs cost much less per session — often under $30 — and are a great way to start before committing to private coaching. Our junior tennis cost calculator can help you estimate a full year of lessons, travel, and gear.
