PROGRAMS & CLASSES
Junior Development is built as a foundation of progressions. There are several levels in our program, each offering a more challenging set of skills, so as the child masters one level, they progress to the next.
preschool & kindergarten tennis
Build a foundation of fitness, coordination, and fun—on and off the court!
Preschool (Ages 3-4)
A playful intro to tennis with a focus on movement, agility, and basic motor skills.
Kindergarten (Ages 5-6)
Fun, fast-paced classes that build coordination and teamwork. Players begin rallying and learning the fundamentals.
Tennis designed to fit your child’s game and growth.
Grades 1-2 (Age 7-8)
Kids build confidence as they develop rallying skills and begin learning simple strategies through fun, game-based play.
Orange Ball (Ages 8-11)
Using age-appropriate equipment and smaller courts, players sharpen rallying skills and get their first taste of real competition.
