Winter Session Youth Programming Schedule
Winter/Spring Session Youth Programming Schedule
**Registration now open!**
Youth Tennis (10 and under)
- Kids play using red, orange, or green balls that bounce lower, don’t move as fast through the air, and are easier to hit.
- Rackets are sized for small hands, and courts are smaller and easier to cover.
- As they learn to rally play, kids will have more fun, feel less frustration, and be excited to keep playing!
- Our staff is committed to creating a safe, fun environment with accelerated learning for all junior entry level players.
- Our youth programming combines the USTA 10 and Under tennis format with our own developmentally-focused process to enhance the mental, physical, and technical growth of all our junior players.
- No refunds after sign-ups.
