CANCELLED Tennis: Red Ball Tennis Lessons (Ages 5-8)

A kids sized introduction to what could be the sport of a lifetime! Your little tennis pro will receive instruction in an approachable and supportive environment. Students play with junior rackets and low-bouncing balls on a reduced court allowing them to more easily make contact and sustain a rally. Students will focus on learning the fundamentals in order to establish a future of success.

CANCELLED Tennis: Orange Ball Tennis Lessons (Ages 9-12)

At this stage of the game, players will continue to develop their skills and athleticism by use of an orange ball designed to travel more slowly and bounce lower.

With these modifications and junior rackets youth find continued success on the court and progress at their own pace.
