Red Ball (Ages 4 – 7) and Orange Ball (Ages 7 – 10)
Red ball classes are designed for young kids just getting started in tennis. The over-sized red ball, smaller court and lower net are perfect for learning the basics of the game. Orange ball classes range from beginner to advanced and will be played on a 60’ court using softer balls. Lessons focus on Agility, Balance, and Coordination along with movement, scoring and stroke production.
Green Ball (Ages 11 – 12)
These classes range from beginner to advanced and will be played on a full-size court of 78’ using a softer ball than the adult version. Players will continue to build the basic skills needed to develop their game. Lessons will incorporate dynamic movement, technical instruction, point play, and match play fundamentals.
Yellow Ball (Ages 13 – 18)
Classes range from beginner to advanced and will prepare players for competitive play. Practices will continue to work on stroke production and match play strategies and include footwork and fitness.
Elite Jr. Tennis Academy (Ages 13 – 18)
UTR Summer Junior Tournament TEAM
