Class Descriptions

PEE WEE Tennis
This first tennis experience for players 3-5yrs old is all about FUN. We use mini tennis courts with rubber, foam and pressure-less tennis balls to get each student to track in incoming ball and strike it with the proper hand or hands. student to instructor ratios will be no more than 3-1.

Meets Thurs 930-10am

10 & UNDER TENNIS
10 & Under Tennis encompasses players between 4-10yrs. FUN, EXERCISE and TENNIS come together on mini tennis courts with rubber, foam and pressure-less tennis balls. Stroke production and movement are intertwined with rally games to make this a the most effective way to get kids actually playing tennis, rather than just standing and swinging. the sooner kids understand why they are hitting the ball, the sooner they become independent players. 3-5 instructors on 3-5 mini courts will ensure our student/instructor ratios stay the lowest on the cape. According to age and ability, players will be split into teams (tiny stars, silver stars and gold stars).

Meets Mon Wed Thurs & Fri 830-930am
Register for 2x/week or 4x/week

These 4.5hrs of practice time will consist of stroke production and encouragement of spin, utilizing the green dot balls as well as moving into the standard yellow balls. Consistency wins matches.

DAVIS CUP
After competing with the Team, players move up to the Davis Cup team. Movement with the lower body and preparation with the upper body allows these players to control the ball with backspin and topspin.

Physical and mental conditioning continues.
