Teen Tennis

This group mainly targets any teen who is interested in advancing their tennis game in a fun but focused atmosphere. Coaches in this group will be teaching a lot of technical and tactical work so that they can advance each athlete’s knowledge of the game and hopefully put them in a position to play the game correctly. If you are looking to possibly play school tennis or just learn the fundamentals of tennis, this group is for you.

Progressive Developmental & Recreational Groups

Green Court Developmental & Recreational Group

This group is for players who fall into the age 8-10 year age group and will start to learn and develop the skills needed to perform at an adequate level. Green Dot felt compression balls are one stage away from a regular tennis ball. These tennis balls are slightly softer to reduce the height of the bounce and make it easier to hit. Juniors who start off at this stage or progress to this stage are transitioning into a full court setting. All necessary fundamentals will be taught during this class.

Orange Court Developmental & Recreational Group

This group is for players who fall into the age of 7-9 year age group and will start to learn and develop the skills needed to perform at an adequate level. Orange felt compression balls are used to make it easier for juniors at this age not only make contact with the ball more frequently but also in time, rally balls to make tennis enjoyable. Smaller courts are also used to help facilitate proper dimensions to help their progression.

Red Court Group

This group is for players who fall into the age of 6-8 year age group. This class will learn the basic fundamentals of tennis. Coordination drills such as catching, throwing, and footwork are a priority in this class. The red ball is the lowest compression ball and the red court is the smallest court used. Our goal even at this stage is to try to get juniors of this age to start rallying, serving, and playing points.

Tiny Tots

This group is for players who fall into the age of 4-5 years age group. The main emphasis of this group is to introduce tennis in a fun and exciting manner. We run all types of fun coordination drills to enhance their skills setting them up for the next stage in tennis.
