Barrington Hills Park District Tennis Courts
Countryside Elementary School, 205 W. County Line Road, Barrington Hills
Barrington Area Tennis Association (BATA) programs are held at the Barrington Hills Park District courts at
Countryside Elementary School in the Spring and Summer.
BATA uses the USTA's 10 & Under tennis format for its youth beginner and advanced beginner classes. 10 &
Under is tennis sized right for age and ability. The format scales the court down to the child’s appropriate size and
uses slower bouncing balls to make learning easier and more fun.
A limited number of scholarships are available for BATA programs. Please contact [email protected]
for scholarship information.
