WELCOME
Since the 1970’s, we have been developing the abilities of junior tennis players here at the Waltham Athletic Club. Our staff of skilled professionals has taught the game to thousands of children, providing them with a fun and healthy skill that lasts a lifetime. The Summer Tennis Program is one of the highlights of our year, with several of our most in-demand coaches staying on to take advantage of the unique opportunity to focus for an entire week or more on players’ games. This concentrated and continued effort is invaluable for any player looking to expand and develop their tennis game. We pride ourselves on our ability to build the skill sets of every player, regardless of their age or experience
SCHEDULE
We will be holding 12 five-day sessions beginning the week of June 15 – 19 and ending the week of August 31 – September 4. Each session will run Monday through Friday with a half day (morning) only on Fridays. Students may enroll in any number of sessions; they do not need to be consecutive. We are also offering an Advanced Afternoon program for Monday–Thursday afternoons. Only advanced level players may choose to attend.
AGE AND LEVEL
Our staff is trained to accommodate players from 6-18 years of age at all three ability levels. Six year old students may attend the Morning sessions only. Afternoon sessions will not be available to six year old students. Please note the Advanced evaluation requirement before signing up for the Advanced Program.

WALTHAM ATHLETIC CLUB
SUMMER TENNIS PROGRAM
DAILY SCHEDULE
Tennis Instruction…9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Traditional and Advanced
Each Monday morning players will be split up into groups based on age and ability. Throughout the week, instructors will work on specific stroke technique, conduct drills designed to improve the overall ability of players and play games that are fun but that also develop key skills. We place a premium on individualized coaching throughout our junior programs.
Lunch Break…12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
The break is well earned after a morning of hard work on the court – players should bring their own lunches, drinks and drink containers.
Afternoon Program…1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Traditional (No Afternoon Program on Fridays)
Players will compete in tennis games and matches, complementing skills learned during the morning sessions. The afternoon component is designed to be less strenuous while focusing on tennis and general athleticism.
Advanced
This option is designed to serve as both a suitably intense companion to the morning instruction and as a stand–alone program, and is comprised of player–specific drills, level specific and coached match play and tennis–specific fitness. The instruction at this level is focused and intense and is appropriate only for serious tennis competitors. Players must be in the Advanced level at the WAC or be evaluated and approved by a WAC tennis staff member to enroll. Intermediate level players may be allowed to participate on a case by case basis.

and we will assist you with proper class placement.
Age Categories and Ability Levels
Age categories of students: 8 and under, 10 and under, 12 and under, and 18 and
under. The appropriate age group will be determined by the student’s actual age as
of the last day of that registration session.
Rising Stars: This class is for preschool and kindergarten children ages 4.5-6 who
have little or no tennis experience. This 45-minute class is an active and fun
introduction to the game of tennis.
Novice Level: This level will introduce students to basic strokes. They will learn to hit
the ball over the net in feeding drills, and should be able to sustain a short rally in
mini tennis. They will not be able to serve at this level.
Intermediate Level: Students at this level will be able to sustain a rally from the base-
line. They will be working on proper grips, learn to improve their serve, and will be
introduced to the actual game-play of both singles and doubles.
