With Ease!
We are excited to announce our new transportation initiative for participants in our 2025-26 Junior Programs at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club. We will be providing two routes for your child to safely and comfortably get to the club.
- Servicing the Upper East Side with three pickup locations and using the Roosevelt Island Tram.
- Servicing Long Island City and Roosevelt Island dropping off directly at the club.
We are using safe, comfortable, twelve-passenger vans with our competent drivers. In addition, your child will be accompanied by an Advantage Tennis Clubs Chaperone.
