Junior Training
We help kids build confidence, one stroke at a time.
After
more than 36 years of tennis development, with a teaching program second
to none, youngsters from preschool to age 18 receive maximum attention
with supervised instruction.
Students benefit from easily understood teaching techniques based on the
laws of physics.
We are
particularly proud of our full time teaching staff, who have been
together for over 10 years. This consistency and uniformity is what has
made our program so successful for our players.
•
Programs at four different skill levels:
•
Early Childhood Development (ECD)
•

Advanced Tournament Prep
•
