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.
