2008 Junior Program

The Junior Tennis Program will be broken down into three age groups. Summer sessions will run from Monday June 16 through Friday August 8.

GROUP 1

8 and under boys and girls
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
9:30 - 10:30am

A class for children with little or no tennis experience. Parental interaction is welcome and encouraged. This is meant to be a fun introduction to tennis. The basic objective is to emphasize eye-hand coordination, motor skills and footwork. Tennis grips, stances, rules and safety are also introduced.

GROUP II

11 & 12 year old girls
13 and over girls and boys
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
10:30 - 11:30 am

Live ball and games based instruction will be emphasized. Advanced members of the groups will work on strategy, improving consistency, directional control, and point play.

GROUP III

9–10 year old girls and boys
11–12 year old boys
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
11:30 - 12:30 pm

We will be building on their eye-hand coordination, motor skills, footwork, tennis grips, stances, rules and scoring. Students will be taught ground strokes along with their placement, serving techniques (spin, consistency, etc.), overheads, volleys, doubles’ play and basic playing tactics.
