Ages 5-8 Entry

Our 8 & Under program uses 36' x 18' courts, Red Felt tennis balls, and 19-23" racquets. Our curriculum is very simple and designed around kids learning to rallying faster through active and engaging drills and games. These classes are not super technical, but designed for kids to have fun, expose them to tennis, and learn basic skills. This program runs four consecutive weeks at a time to see whether your child enjoys playing. Click on the schedule and it will take you directly to the registration page.

Ages 5-8 Intermediate

For kids that demonstrate they can consistently hit a minimum of one ball in play, and sometimes a return. This program is One hour and a half instead of an hour, and eight weeks long instead of 4 weeks. Typically your child is enjoying the sport, and learning coordination, basic tennis skills, and teamwork. These kids will be accountable for knowing Forehands, Backhands, Serves, and lines of the court. Click on the schedule and it will take you directly to the registration page.
