Junior Development is built as a foundation of progressions. There are several levels in the program, each offering a more challenging set of skills, so as the child masters one level they progress to the next. Our program has a complete recreational and competitive pathway, including preschool, 10 & under, middle school, high school, and our Tennis Academy.
Build a foundation of fitness, coordination, and fun—on and off the court!
A playful intro to tennis with a focus on movement, agility, and basic motor skills.
Fun, fast-paced classes that build coordination and teamwork. Players begin rallying and learning the fundamentals.
Kids build confidence as they develop rallying skills and begin learning simple strategies through fun, game-based play.
Using age-appropriate equipment and smaller courts, players sharpen rallying skills and get their first taste of real competition.
Designed for developing players, this class sharpens technique, improves control, and builds tactical skills for both singles and doubles play.
Take your game from practice to performance. Players compete in real-time matches with on-the-spot coaching to boost strategy, confidence, and mental toughness.
