JUNIOR INSTRUCTION 

Our Junior Program follows a consistent, scientifically proven structure. The 10 & Under method uses child development theory to determine instruction language, behavior management, reward systems, and age-appropriate drills and games. Our priority is for the kids to have fun while developing the skills to become competitive tennis players.

It’s an active, engaged system focused on rally-based lessons. Instead of waiting in line, players rally with each other while the tennis professionals constantly monitor, give feedback, and encourage players positively.

Players over 10 years old will refine their technique and focus on match play to develop their game style and to understand tennis strategy and competition..
