A family lesson in Amagansett is a summer-house hour: parents and children on the court behind the house, at the club or on a public court, with one coach running three levels at once. We put Amagansett families in touch with one certified, background-checked coach who does exactly that.

Family lessons in Amagansett: what's different here

SPORTIME Amagansett’s 33 Har-Tru courts and the John McEnroe Tennis Academy on Abrahams Path, the Town’s four public courts on the same road at Lt. Lee Hayes Youth Park and the Abrahams Path facility, the Devon Yacht Club’s courts on the bay behind its gates, and the Further Lane estates with courts of their own.

On the ocean side of Amagansett the family court behind the house is the venue and the afternoon wind is the constraint; coaches who work the beachfront in Amagansett book the family hour before noon.

The 12th Johnny Mac Tennis Project Pro-Am was played at SPORTIME on August 24, 2026: 128 pros and amateurs, more than 400 attending, more than $550,000 raised, John and Patrick McEnroe and Mats Wilander on site. Amagansett had 1,824 residents at the 2020 Census and one of East Hampton’s largest collections of estates along Further Lane, where the private courts are; the Devon Yacht Club on Gardiner’s Bay is private and takes non-members only with a member.

Public courts in Amagansett are run by the Town of East Hampton Recreation Department (Lt. Lee Hayes Youth Park and the Abrahams Path Recreational Facility); the tennis coach we put you in touch with knows the court rules and books the time.

FAQ

Family lessons questions

Do I need to belong to a club to take tennis lessons in the Hamptons?

No. Montauk Downs State Park rents its six Har-Tru courts to anyone at $44 an hour ($24 for members) from mid-May to October; the Village of Southampton sells a court permit at $25 (individual) or $75 (family); Sag Harbor’s Mashashimuet Park, 8 clay and 2 hard courts, is a nonprofit’s public facility with lessons, clinics and a camp; Ross School Tennis Center’s six Hydro Har-Tru courts are open to the public and under a bubble in winter, with private lessons at $175–190; SPORTIME Amagansett sells non-members clinics, camps and private instruction with a surcharge; and the East Hampton Tennis Club teaches non-members. The Town of East Hampton’s public courts in Springs, Amagansett and Montauk post a rule against unauthorised commercial activity, so a paid lesson there needs the Recreation Department’s say-so. A coach with a court of their own is the other answer.

How does Hamptons Ace Tennis work?

You tell us about the player once: who is learning, their level, what kind of lessons, when, and where in the Hamptons you are based. We put you in touch with one coach who teaches that age and level in your part of the fork, certified by the RSPA or the PTR and background-checked, and they call you within one business day. From there it is their rate, their schedule and their court, or yours. It is free for players and parents; participating coaches pay us a referral fee for the introduction. We are not a club, a camp or a coaching business, and we do not sell your details; the one coach we send you to is the only one who gets your number. We cover 9 South Fork towns and 6 kinds of coaching.
