Our Junior Competitive program is for players preparing for or involved in competitive tennis. Drills and games focus on strokes, footwork, strategy, and match play. Younger players follow the Stages of Play in the USTA’s (United States Tennis Association) Youth Progression program. For additional information visit our Youth Tennis Stages of Play page which illustrates the concepts of the program. Participation requires a two-day-per-week commitment with the 3rd day optional, and there are 4 sessions during the indoor season. All lessons and clinics play as scheduled during Spring Break.
All players new to our program must be evaluated for entry into our competitive programs. Placement will be determined by our Pros using USTA junior rating guidelines and personal assessment. There will be no guaranteed make-ups for Junior Competitive Group classes. It will sometimes be possible to make-up a class if there is room in an alternate class during the current session. Make-ups MUST be approved by an instructor or at the front desk. NO walk-in make-ups will be allowed. Available classes, days and times may be adjusted prior to the Indoor Season. Please refer to the August Calendar of Events for Junior Competitive Groups registration.
Players wishing to advance in Junior Competitive Groups may request a placement evaluation at any time during the season. Upon receiving the request, the coaches will convene, discuss placement of the player, and determine which group best fits the player’s current abilities.
