GROUP LEVELS

Level 1:  Little Stars (ages 4-6)
This is a fun introduction to tennis with an emphasis on hand eye coordination, movement, and fun games.  These classes meet once or twice a week for 45 minutes.

Level 2:  Beginning/Intermediate Stars (ages 7-12)
Players are grouped by ability levels and range from beginners to novice players who have had some private instruction.  These players typically lack the control to sustain a rally and consistently get their serves in.  Emphasis will be on the development of proper fundamentals, learning how to keep score, basic rules, playing games that increase a players court awareness, and having fun.  Classes meet once or twice a week for 1.5 hours.

Level 3:  Advanced Stars
Designed  for advanced players who are still working on their technical skills and need more match play experience.   These players want to eventually move up into the Level 4 or 5 of the Junior Performance Program.  Proper fundamentals will be stressed, along with drills, conditioning, and singles & doubles strategies.  Classes meet once or twice a week for 1.5 hours.

Level 4:  Junior Performance Program
Designed for the player that wants to start competing in the novice/challenger USTA events.  This is more intense than the Advanced Stars.  The players in this program have a good grasp on the fundamentals of the game, but they need to be able to put it all together in a match situation.  Fitness, strategy, and mental toughness are a major component in this program.  Classes meet once or twice a week for 1.5 hours. (Invitation Only)

Level 5:  Junior High Performance Program
This is an intense, rigorous program designed for those players who are serious about tennis, want to play competitive, USTA tournaments, and both high school and college play.  Players must be prepared to work very hard and commit to practicing.  All phases of the game, physical, mental, and tactical will be worked on and emphasized.  Players will be required to participate in tournaments.  Classes meet once or twice a week for 2 hours. (Invitation Only)
