The Programs

A program for every age.

Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time or sharpening tournament-ready strokes, find their age below — that's where they start.

10 & Under Tennis Program

Monday – Friday · 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Built on the USTA 10 & Under recommendations, with courts, balls, and racquets sized to the player. Kids are grouped by skill rather than age, so they start where they are — from first racquet to rallying, serving, and playing points.

Essential tennis

Monday – Friday · 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Recommended for ages 10 to 14. This program is designed for junior players. Grouped according to their skill level, participants will focus on correct technique and all-around game development. They will practice serving, forehand, backhand, volleys, approach volleys and overheads, incorporated in point playing scenarios. They will develop consistency and an understanding of court positioning, as well as basic strategy and the importance of correctly evaluating an opponent. This is a high school and USTA tournament preparatory program.

High school tennis

Monday – Friday · 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Recommended for ages 14 to 18. This program is designed for high school players, grouped according to their skill level. To maximize the players's full potential, a specific routine has been designed to prepare the SINGLES and DOUBLES players to play in a higher position on their team. Players will learn/improve court position, how to strategically use their shots, and strengthen their game for tournament play.
