A clear pathway from first swing to competitor
Our junior programs meet every young player exactly where they are — starting with red, orange, and green ball on right-sized courts, then progressing to full-court yellow-ball tennis, competitive UTR play, and high-performance training.
Beginner · Red Ball
Perfect for first-time players. Young kids learn the fundamentals on smaller courts with slower red low-bounce balls and fun games — building coordination, athletic skills, and confidence.
Orange Ball
For players who can rally consistently and are ready to advance. Builds strokes, serving, rallying, movement, and scoring with orange low-compression balls on modified courts, with match play introduced in a positive environment.
Green Ball · Full Court
Players move up to green low-compression balls on a full-size court — refining stroke technique and consistency, developing tactical awareness, and building confidence in match play.
Green → Yellow Ball
For juniors transitioning from green to the standard yellow ball. Players adjust to the speed and bounce of the yellow ball while developing sound technique, footwork, court positioning, scoring, and point play.
Intermediate – Advanced
Stroke development with spin, height, depth, direction, and pace — plus footwork patterns, serves, returns, and tactical skills for both singles and doubles.
Competitive · UTR 3+
For competitive juniors rated 3 UTR and up. Emphasizes advanced technique, footwork, tactical awareness, point construction, and supervised match play — building the consistency and mindset for tournament success. UTR 6+ can move up to High Performance.
Elite · UTR 7+
Full-day summer training for high-level juniors — you sign up for both a morning and an afternoon session, Monday through Friday. Choose your track:
