The USTA provides guidelines to make tennis accessible and enjoyable for young players. Their recommendations include using different types of balls based on the player's age and skill level, which helps in developing proper skills and technique.
Following these guidelines ensures that children learn tennis in a fun and effective manner, adapting to their growing skills and abilities.
Recommended for ages 4 to 5. With lots of energy on the courts, we take kids through the fundamentals in a low stress and fun environment. Kids get comfortable handling a racket, play games and learn hand-and-eye coordination.
Recommended for ages 6 to 8. Players will still play plenty of games as we build onto the fundamentals. Even completely new players can quickly gain the basics while adding on learning the different strokes and footwork needed for a solid game. We'll also spend time working on tennis "approach and volleys", overhead swings and serving.
Recommended for ages 8 to 10. Our older players start to get their game on. Green Ball players will always have fundamental review (as we all should) and will focus on serving, strategy and learning court positioning. This group will begin playing point matches with an emphasis on building rallies, all with a view to becoming tournament (if they want to) ready.
Recommended for ages 11 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.
This program is designed for HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS - ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME. Players will be 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.
