We are into Spring, and our weather in the desert has remained unusually hot for this time. We have another month for our season to come to an end and many of our part-time residents returning home.
I want to thank everybody and the WTA & WTAF for helping The Love & Love Tennis Foundation reach its goal of $100,000 at The Annalee Thurston Awards Dinner, March 7, 2026. We will continue trying to provide more free tennis clinics all year throughout the valley when possible. We’ve reached out to our many High Schools who have courts and have asked them to help run free tennis clinics in their community as they’ve done in the past.
Desert Hot Springs High School Free Kids Tennis Clinics:
DATES: May 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23 & 24, 2026 at the High School Courts

Fritz Burns Park Tennis Clinics in La Quinta
Our free Fritz Burns Park Tennis Clinics in La Quinta for kids, parents, or adults are back and start this Saturday, April 4, 9–10:15 am and hopefully will go through June.
- Make sure you wear sports shoes and a wet handkerchief to tie around your neck to keep you cool.
- We will have plenty of drinks as well as snacks for the kids.
- The park is still under construction, so parking is right across the street.
- We will have all rackets and balls, but if you have your own racket, bring it.
We will keep you posted on other free clinics coming your way through the High School Programs, Desert Recreation, and Boys & Girls Club.
Anyone wanting to volunteer to help with tennis clinics in the Coachella Valley, please call (760) 772-9411 or better, email me at Sportswomn@aol.com.
