Thank you all for participating in our 2020-2021 Junior Program! It was rough going early on for the kids to get used to the rules and regulations that were constantly in flux but we made it through! We are looking forward to having parents spectate our lessons more in the 2021-2022 season.

If you have a group of kids that all know each other and would like to have their own separate group then that can likely be arranged. These customized groups can be scheduled outside of the below classes.

Early registration is highly recommended for the 2021-2022 season. The quicker we have an idea of how many kids are interested in each class the more we can prepare for the class and provide the best experience possible. With this in mind, please also inform us on your goals for your child as well. This will help facilitate proper class placement.

Please contact us and ask for Marshal if you have any questions.

Green Ball

Yellow Ball Classes

Developmental

• Class designed for those who may be starting their tennis journey a bit later in their childhood than most but have an immediate need to adjust to yellow ball usage. Technique is most important here…so kids who may have gotten a late start to tennis can quickly be able to rally with friends or opponents in a match. This is geared towards casual players who want to learn the sport and be able to play for fun with friends throughout their life.
• Mondays 3:30-4:30, 5:30-6:30 or 6:30-7:30, Thursdays 6:15-7:15. (dependent on instructor availability)
• One hour class: 10 weeks $320  9 weeks $288.
  

Intermediate Yellow Ball Classes

• This class will be similar to the Developmental class but will also use modified balls in addition to “regular” yellow balls. These class will adjoin our modified ball classes in case a child may need to switch levels of ball usage. This class is for those in middle school or advanced late elementary aged school players. Makeups may be done with other classes or possibly with the Developmental class or High School Prospects class.
• Monday 4:30-5:30 and/or 5:30-6:30, Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 and/or 5:30-6:30, Saturdays 11:30-12:30.
