Welcome to the OGRCC Tennis Program! We offer quality tennis instruction for children ages 3-12 years old. Our mission is to provide your children with a structured and fun learning environment young players need to develop and excel at tennis – a lifetime sport! Our USPTR certified instructors provide expertise in coaching the fundamentals of tennis —all geared toward enhancing the individual’s court performance and promoting a love for tennis. Clinics are organized into small groups by age and level.
Jon Bott and his team will continue to lead this dynamic tennis program! See tab below for more information.
We will offer a youth and adult program in the spring – weekly clinics and a spring break camp. All information will be up on the website in January 2025. Registration begins Feb. 3rd.

All participants need their own racquet.
Jon Bott loves Tennis. So much that he devoted his life to playing, and after that, teaching. Jon began his playing career in the great state of Michigan. As a junior player, he worked his way up to have a national ranking in singles. He followed his junior career by attending Grand Valley State University where he was highly ranked in singles and doubles.
After college, Jon stuck with his passion and decided to move to Greenwich, CT and become a PTR certified tennis professional. At age 23, Jon became the Head Tennis Professional at the Riverside Yacht Club where he taught for 11 years.
Jon has spent his last 5 years teaching at the Burning Tree Country Club and John McEnroe Tennis Academy, and now has over 15 years of experience teaching all levels of Tennis in the Greenwich and Westchester areas.
Jon is part of the community and is dedicated to bringing members of the community together. Jon’s goal is to keep a light and fun atmosphere while learning essential Tennis skills. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!
