Number One in North Carolina


One of our juniors, Chloe Pizer, who is very humble and might not let you know any of her recent accomplishments, should be recognized for her outstanding results this summer.  A lot of you may have seen her training at CHTC during the morning, or midday, or afternoon, or dusk, or the early evening, but, perhaps, not so much recently.  That’s because she’s had a dream summer playing incredible tennis around the country and winning almost everything she's entered.  Chloe, who is 13 and in her first year of 14‘s, is currently 1st in the State of NC, 1st in the Southern Section, and 3rd in the nation.  After having a rough winter where she got rounded at some tournaments because she wasn’t yet use to the pace, it is nice to see her rebound and not only get comfortable playing against more pace, but now actually enjoying the faster game.  Since spring Chloe has really figured things out and she’s been on a winning tear in both 14‘s and 16‘s, taking titles in basically everything she’s entered.  We here at CHTC would like to congratulate her for all her hard work and success.  It’s been fun to see her gain more confidence all summer long.

Chapel Hill Tennis Clubs Summer Camp



Because Chapel Hill Tennis Club campus is one of the area’s premier recreation destinations and because the club’s staff consistently proves to be the very best, we are proud to say that the CHTC SUMMER CAMP is the best around. 

Camp Director Michal “Z” Zaluski works with tennis players of all levels of play and he has nearly two decades of experience creating a fun environment for kids to learn tennis while exercising (and socializing) with peers.  

Assisting “Z” with the camp management, Fitness Director Lauren Herman plans out stretching and fitness programs, and the campers make daily use of the swimming pool as well as the large play field to play games for both fin and foot.  Together, Lauren and “Z” have run the SUMMER CAMP for over a decade.  That consistency has allowed them to build a staff and program that not only knows what to do, but it is very proud of how well they get the job done.  Tennis, swimming, fitness, and fun are our passions and we take pride in being the best.

So if you’re looking for a SUMMER CAMP, you are welcome to come check out the Chapel Hill Tennis Club.  We start filling spots in February so we advise you to pop in to ensure the week you want most before it fills up.  Or if you don’t have time to come by the club, visit our website at www.chapelhilltennisclub.com where you can download the enrollment brochure.  

The Chapel Hill Tennis Club (CHTC) is a cornerstone of the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area.


Founded in 1967 as a member-owned club, we here at CHTC make it our mission to create a safe environment and an awesome community that is filled with people that think recreation and fun are good things. 

We specialize in tennis courts and teaching the game of tennis, but the CHTC campus is more than just tennis.  As soon as you step foot on the grounds you notice the newly renovated, state-of-the-art, Olympic swimming pool – with a separate baby pool and the big twisting waterslide in the diving well.  We also provide swimming lessons, water aerobics, water safety courses, red cross certifications, lifeguard certified courses and of course the CHSSL swim team.


A few steps further and you notice the basketball half-court, and the sand volleyball court. There is also a playground, a tennis hitting wall and the under-10 tennis court, with the covered picnic area where 8-and-under campers do crafts during summer camp. 

It is only after looking up to the next plateau and the stretching acres beyond that you see the multiple banks of tennis courts, 24 courts in all, freshly brushed and awaiting play.  After taking a brief tour there is no doubt that you will agree, the Chapel Hill Tennis Club campus is a recreational haven, a miracle hidden in the woods off of Hwy 54, a Chapel Hill staple conveniently located in Carrboro.

If you don’t have time to come by the club, visit our website at www.chapelhilltennisclub.com
