The “Red Ball” program is the beginner entry level class in which most junior players should start. This class is designed to be fun, build hand-eye coordination, and learn proper stroke technique all while playing fun tennis games.
The “Orange Ball” program is designed for the junior tennis player who has gone through the Red Ball Program and has developed simple stroke technique. Here we focus on repetition and continue to learn all the elements of the game including score keeping and court etiquette.
The “Green Dot/Yellow Ball” program is for the student who has had 2-3 years playing experience. One-on-one drills, point play and heavy repetition drills will be the focus of this class as well as court positioning and game strategy.
