2010-2011 Junior Tennis
Junior Development Tennis Program
The Junior Development Tennis Program offers year-round programs for children 5-18 years old and for individuals of varying abilities. These groups meet for instruction, practice, and competition.
The Fall 2010 Junior Development Tennis Program begins August 30th.
Senior Elite
Ranked Juniors and High School Varsity Players (13-18 years old)
This class is comprised of our top level juniors. Players in this class have already spent many hours on the court developing their game. They have sound technical foundations and have the ability to win points with multiple weapons. Players in this class compete in local, sectional and national tournaments on a regular basis. Ongoing commitment to and participation in tournaments is a requirement of this class.
Academy
High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Players (13-18 years old)
Players in this class are starting to take their tennis more seriously. They no longer want to just play tennis - they want to become better tennis players. The focus of our Academy class is to make sure each student’s stroke production is sound and fundamentally correct. This class will prepare students to play on their high school team and in local and sectional tournaments. It will also prepare them for our Senior Elite class.
Flight
Beginner to Intermediate Players
(Ages 7-12)
This class is for beginner to intermediate players who have played for less than 3 years. Students are divided into ability levels within the group (ability first, age second) and are taught the fundamentals of the game. At this stage we emphasize proper grips and swing paths for the forehand, backhand, volley, serve and overhead. Our goal in this class is to make our students’ stroke production technically sound. We will also introduce our students to the basic rules of tennis.
Stars
Beginners
(Ages 5-6)
Having fun and developing a love of the game is the primary focus at this stage. We want our students to develop gross motor skills such as running, catching, jumping, and balance to help prepare them for our next class. A child who wants to play at this level may not be interested in repetitive drills. We will teach proper swings in a fun way. In this class, the teaching professionals are energetic and keep the atmosphere playful.
Our teaching professionals will place all players in the appropriate class within our program. Players can challenge to move up to the next class. The Club’s professionals retain the right to make class level adjustments based on attitude, performance, and dedication.
