Junior Tennis Group Clinics

Our program is designed to ensure proper placement of students based on their age and ability. Our classes are designated Level 1 – 5, and we have four age groups: Preschool, Grades 1-3, Grades 4 – 7, & grades 8 – 12.

Students enrolled in levels 1,2 & 3 will attend one clinic per week. Students in level 4 & 5 will attend one clinic per week, but will also participate in our supervised match play (Playdays) on Fridays or Saturdays.

Please read the following descriptions to help you choose which class to choose for your child. If you are unsure we will be happy to evaluate your player prior to registration. To schedule an appointment for an evaluation, please call the tennis department at x 31.

Rising Stars: This class is for preschool & kindergarten children, ages 4 & 5 who have little or no tennis experience. This 45 minute class will be an active & fun introduction to tennis.
Level 1: This level is for students who have little or no tennis experience.
Level 2: This level is for students who have been introduced to basic strokes and can hit the ball over the net in a feeding drill. They can sustain a short rally in mini tennis. They cannot serve..
Level 3: Students in this level can sustain a short rally from the baseline. They can serve and have some experience playing singles and doubles.
Level 4: Students can hit with consistency and moderate power from the baseline. They have the ability to hit volleys, overheads, approach shots, and serves. Their footwork and court coverage is improving. This class will emphasize technique, but will devote time each week to strategy and point play.
Level 5*: This level is for players who are committed to improving their games. They want to play more than one time per week, and will participate in round robins, intra-club matches and tournaments,
Invitational: This level is for level 5 players who are ranked USTA tournament players. Please contact the tennis department to register for this class.
Playdays: Level 4 & 5
Playdays are a popular part of our program and are included in the price of our level 4 & 5 clinics. Playdays are supervised in-house round robins. A pro will be on hand to set up matches and will keep track of player’s scores. This year we have divided the level 4 & 5 players. The level 4 will meet on Fridays from 5 - 6:30pm and the level 5 will meet on Saturdays from 6-8pm.
