Carefree Racquet Club is Long Island’s premier indoor tennis club, offering seven indoor tennis courts, two half-court basketball courts and four pickleball courts.

League Coordinator Kristen Cassidy offers adult singles, doubles and team doubles leagues that are always on the correct level to insure you a good game every time you play. Carefree has many USTA teams in the 18 & Over, 40 & Over, 55 & Over Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Doubles Leagues, along with Tri-Level Leagues.

For those new to the game or just want to improve, Carefree offers two 14-week sessions of learn and play groups, coordinated by Ryan White. Players get an hour lesson each week, along with 90 minutes of practice time each week.

Jean Tanklowitz, senior program coordinator, has many retirees who simply have a flexible schedule, playing Monday through Thursday in the afternoon. All games are arranged by Jean.

For junior players, Ben Marks, Carefree’s director of tennis, coordinates the Junior Development Program with two 14-week sessions starting at the age of five, running through the age of 18. Children can take group, semi-private or private lessons, along with practice time and ladder match play as well. Ben also runs a high school prep program and an Elite program.

Carefree is very proud of its QuickStart Tot Program for children ages three- to five-years-old, which uses props to keep the children’s attention and is coordinated by Vikki Roberto.

Carefree Racquet Club is managed by Kathy Miller, along with Assistant Manager Pat McIlwee, who pride themselves on the organization and smooth running of Long Island’s premier indoor tennis club that has never and continues to not charge membership fees.

Carefree offers a summer camp for Juniors from the end of June until mid August.  We offer a Red Ball Camp (10 years of age and under) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s from 9am to noon with Kristen Cassidy.  In addition we have a camp for all ages (6-18) that runs Monday- Friday 1:00-5:00 run by Ryan White.  Call us for more details!

So if you are looking to join a program or just rent a court now and then, come down and visit Carefree Racquet Club!
