Quick Start Tennis
Age: 4 – 10 years
Quick Start Tennis is designed for children 10 years and younger who are new to the game or need additional instruction to rally using ground strokes, volleys and serve. Quick Start Tennis takes a new approach to introducing kids to the game by using fun sized courts, nets, racquets and balls. The lighter low compression balls bounce lower, which helps develop proper techniques. All students are advised to purchase a 21 – 25 inch tennis racquet (typically 4 – 6 = 21″, 7 – 8 = 23″, 9 -10 = 25″).
Junior Tennis
Age: 10 – 17 years
Junior Tennis is designed for players 10 and older who want to learn and improve their tennis game. Advanced Beginner classes will focus on improving all basic strokes, including forehand, backhand, volleys, serve, lobs and overheads. Our Advanced Beginner Intermediate classes are for those who are looking to get the most out of their game and are ready for match play.
