Junior Tennis Class Descriptions

Pee Wee: This fun, introductory class is meant to give our little stars a variety of different tennis related games to match their attention level.  We focus on hand-eye coordination with the help of targets, small racquets, nerf balls, hoops, etc. (Ages 5-7)

Level 1:This class is designed for students ages 7-10.  The primary focus will be on a fun tennis experience, emphasizing racquet feel, balance, and hand-eye coordination.  Stroke technique will also be introduced.

Level 2: Ages 9-14 with players grouped by ability.  Mechanics, grips, spins, and footwork are central issues that will be covered.  Rallying becomes more prevalent at this level.  Scoring and strategies will be introduced.

Level 3: Ages 9-14 with players grouped by ability.  Mechanics, grips, spins, and footwork are central issues that will be covered with the ability to rally being essential.  Scoring and strategies will be a large part of this group.

Jr. Elite: For juniors that are not yet in high school (challenger level tournament players ages 8-13).  This class is designed for advanced players interested in additional playing time to improve their games, and ultimately bring more tournament success.  *Class requires approval from the tennis staff.
