Ten and Under Tennis
We want to instill a love of the sport while teaching athletic skills and proper fundamentals. Our Ten and Under programs follow our teaching competencies so players can build a strong foundation and continue to advance through our developmental pathway. Our experienced staff have helped hundreds of players fall in love with the sport through fun activities, learning and competition. Our programs are based on a combination of age and skill. Players wishing to progress to the next stage of class should receive coaches recommendation.
Our facility strongly believes players are eager to learn and be challenged within a fun environment. We provide several Ten and Under tournaments throughout the year, for players to gain experience and put their improving skills to the test.
Red Ball (Ages 4-6):
The introductory red ball courts are designed to help students learn upper and lower body coordination within a size and age appropriate court. Juniors learn the basics of all tennis strokes with fun drills and games to spark interest. Smaller courts and slower red balls are used. Players will receive a free 21" racquet when registering for a full session. Please contact Brandon Wu, bwu@evansvilletennis.com with questions about placement.
Orange Ball (Ages 7-8):
Players will develop an understanding of the correct grips, footwork stances, and swing pathways. Athletic development and a focus on technique are important building blocks for this stage. Orange balls are faster than red with a lower bounce than green balls. We encourage players to choose an ETC coach to begin occasional semi-private or private lessons. Players will receive a free 23" racquet when registering for a full session. Please contact Brandon Wu, bwu@evansvilletennis.com with questions about placement.
