JUNIOR PROGRAMS
As a commitment to
"growing" new tennis players in our area we reserve many of our early evening
court times for junior clinics and junior league play. We also offer a "no-membership-required"
munchkin program for boys and girls ages 3-5 and we have added several new
flighted clinics for kids 5 to 13.
The Munchkins (ages
3-5 Mon and
Wed evenings) focuses on tennis ABC's (Agility, Balance,
and Coordination)
and introducing tennis FUNdamentals. Players will
develop the skills for stroke production in tennis and general tennis mechanics.
Play is generally in a half-court format more suited to this age group and
consists of exercises with and without the use of their racquets. no
membership required.
The Saturday morning BigShots (ages
5-8 Saturday
mornings) have
some prior experience on a tennis court and will continue to focus on the ABC's
of tennis and tennis fundamentals with emphasis on tennis stroke production and
general tennis mechanics.
The TopNotch program (ages
6-10 Mon
and Wed evenings) continues
to develop athletic skills for tennis with engaging activities and games that
are designed to build a player's foundation in all the basic strokes including
serves.
The TopGun program (ages
11-13, Mon
and Wed) transitions
players from RedBall play to Orange and Green Balls continuing to develop the
ABC's for tennis and learning to rally. Players will also be introduced to
match format and using their serve, return, rallying, and consistent play on a
standard court size.
The Middle School/NextGen program develops a strong
foundation and strengthens the player's basic tennis skills. Emphasis is
on adding spin, pace, and depth in their strokes. Understanding basic
scoring, serving and strokes, and playing more competitive matches are elements
emphasized in this program.
The High School/CollegePrep/SuperGroup program is
for high school students who understand basic scoring, serving, and basic
strokes. This clinic will focus on stroke production, developing a
stronger foundation which will allow players to improve and play more
competitively. (Begining
high school
players should register for the Middle School/Next Gen Clinics)
