The Youth Developmental Tennis Program is a progression (see chart A) of lessons where participants “play to learn” utilizing lower compression balls which have a lower bounce (see chart B),  smaller racquets (see chart C), and different court sizes (see chart D) to aid in developing skills through a positive educating experience and with a sense of accomplishment.

Players (6yrs. & under) will begin with a  focus on movement, balance, throwing and catching the ball, swing motions, making contact, grips and stroke development.

As players (7yrs. & older) continue to improve, additional skill sets will focus on coordinating movement, balance and hitting the ball with purpose and direction.  Game concepts and scoring will be introduced. Completing this progression of lessons will provide training needed for entry level tournament play.
