Elite Youth Tennis Safety Policies and Procedures

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.
