How the 11 & Up Tennis Program Works
Improve skills while having fun and meeting new friends! Whether your child is new to tennis or looking to advance, we have a program for them.
Group Lessons
Each Junior group lesson has an instructor-to-player ratio typically between 4:1 and 6:1. Children may start lessons at any time, and the session rate will be adjusted accordingly. Enrollment in Group Lessons is for an entire session. Once enrolled, no credit can be given for lessons missed, however, you may be able to coordinate with a tennis pro for make-up classes. Absolutely no pro-rating of junior group lessons. No refunds. To ensure quality lessons, we reserve the right to move students to appropriate groups. With the exception of 10 & Under Tennis, membership is required for all Elite lessons.

Future Stars 1 & 2 (Ages 11-14)
This program is designed to introduce the fundamentals of tennis. Players will learn the correct mechanics of each stroke, proper court positioning, and movement, as well as sound strategies for future growth and development. All basic techniques will be reinforced constantly through coordination exercises, competitive fun games, and singles & doubles play.
Excellence (Teenagers)
The Excellence class is a player development program that improves the more advanced player’s technical skills, as well as mental toughness. High-intensity drills that develop speed, coordination, and overall athletic ability will be a part of this program. Strengths, weaknesses, and current stroke arsenal will be analyzed. Singles and doubles point play will be interspersed with individual attention to ensure that the player’s highest potential is reached.
Invitational Junior Davis Cup 2 (Ages 11-12)
This program is designed for our younger players that are taking lessons consistently and are playing competitively. These kids are focusing on developing a more well rounded game and match play strategies. WTN/UTR or in-house match play required.
Tennis pro approval required.
High Performance 1, 2, & 3 (Teenagers)
High Performance is for our juniors who are playing USTA Tournaments on a Standard basis, increasing their match play experience. Students will concentrate on grooming their strokes and working on shot patterns, footwork, movement, on-court conditioning, and mental toughness. Students learn advanced techniques and implementation of tactics, strategies, and varied game plans.
UTR rating, WTN number, and/or in-house match play required.
Video Analysis & Feedback
Included in private lessons for no additional fee. We will record a stroke of your choice and analyze it with our computer software. Players will see the motion of their stroke versus that of a professional tennis player. This analysis helps make immediate improvements.
Match Play
Our tennis pros can help with game arranging for your child to get them on the court playing against similarly skilled opponents. This can be through programs like a challenge ladder, or just one-off matches coordinated between players.
