Program Descriptions

Pre-Tennis: Fun Starts Here!

Introduce your little ones to the game they’ll love! Using the Net Generation format, we use smaller racquets, tailored courts, and "low-bounce" balls to make learning easy and stress-free.

Our fast-paced games keep every child moving as they learn the basics—from forehands and volleys to footwork. Through fun skill stations and small group play, kids build confidence and coordination while learning to rally over the net. It’s all about fun, friends, and a great first step into tennis!

Beginner Tennis: Let the Games Begin!

Ready to play? Our Beginner Tennis program is designed to meet kids right where they are! We use the USTA "right-sized" approach—matching court dimensions, racquet sizes, and ball bounce to your child’s age and ability. This helps our young players build confidence and see progress fast!

How it works:

  • Red Ball: We start on 36' courts focusing on coordination. Once they can rally 4 or 5 times, they’re ready for the next step!

  • Orange Ball: Moving up to the 60' court to sharpen those skills.

  • Yellow Ball: The final goal—mastering the full 72' court.

Every child dives into real game play, where they’ll learn the basics of scoring, match play, and—most importantly—great sportsmanship. Come join us on the court for some high-energy fun!

Teen Tennis: Match Ready!
