East Hampton lines up age-graded youth tennis clinics at Amagansett park

East Hampton lined up a four-step youth tennis path at Amagansett Youth Park, giving parents a clear grade-by-grade route from first swings to older-kid clinic time. The calendar’s layout made the progression easy to read: younger players got the earliest hour, and the older groups moved into their own slots.

The schedule ran through Monday and Tuesday at the same Abrahams Path site. The town listed 2026 Youth Park Clinics - Tennis Grades K & 1 for Monday, June 29, from 9 to 10 a.m., Grades 2 & 3 for Monday, June 29, from 10 to 11 a.m., Grades 4 & 5 for Tuesday, June 30, from 9 to 10 a.m., and Grades 6 & Up for Tuesday, June 30, from 10 to 11 a.m. The structure gave each age tier its own hour and kept the whole rollout at one public park.

That location matters for families trying to decide whether to plug into town tennis or look elsewhere. East Hampton’s tennis information page places the Amagansett courts at the Lt. Lee Hayes Youth Park at 306 Abrahams Path, and the facility page says the site has two tennis courts plus a softball field, two volleyball courts, a basketball court, a bocce court, ADA-accessible rest rooms and pathways. The park is open year-round from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise permitted, and the courts are available when children are not using them.

The pricing history points to a program built for regular access, not a one-off splash. A 2025 spring tennis clinics document listed the Amagansett Youth Park spring sessions from May 13, 2025, to June 20, 2025, at $45.00 per child. A separate 2026 listing described the East Hampton youth tennis clinic as six weeks long at $45 a child. That keeps the town’s youth tennis offer in the same low-cost lane parents have seen before.

The rollout also sits inside a wider public-tennis map. East Hampton’s recreation department says it runs programming at multiple town facility, beach and park locations, sometimes at local public schools and the YMCA, and staffs anywhere from 30 to 180-plus full- and part-time employees depending on the season. The town’s recreation calendar also offers Notify Me alerts for recreation updates, which makes the Amagansett clinics easier to track as the summer fills up.

East Hampton is not competing only with private clubs, either. The town’s tennis materials also point to other public courts, including Springs Youth Association Building, and the parks document lists the Terry King Ball Field area at Abraham’s Path and Town Lane as having four tennis courts. Nearby, SPORTIME Amagansett/JMTA Hamptons says it is the largest outdoor tennis facility in the Hamptons, covering 25 acres and serving 500 to 1,000 players and campers a day in summer. Against that backdrop, the Amagansett clinic ladder reads like the town’s clearest entry point, from the first K-1 hour to the grades 6-and-up slot.
