Tennis
Junior Program
Tennis program offered to juniors in an age, equipment & size appropriate format. At the J we pride ourselves on using an advancement level colored balls system where the bounce & weight of the ball is regulated for their ability level, making the whole experience much more rewarding, successful & most of all FUN!
RED BALL PROGRAM - Recommended for 4-7/8 Year olds. (On hold due to safety precautions)
The ball is substantially larger & lighter, RED in color & 25% pressure compared to a regular tennis ball to ensure a lower slower bounce to contact at waist height! (Racket recommended between 19"-23').
ORANGE BALL PROGRAM - Recommended for 7-10/11 Year olds.
The ball is regular size, still lighter, with an ORANGE dot. 50% pressure compared to a regular tennis ball to slow down some & still keep ball in players strike zone! (Racket size recommended 23"-25") .
Orange: Tuesday & Thursday 5pm - 6pm
GREEN BALL PROGRAM - Recommended for 10-12/13 year olds.
The ball is regular size with a GREEN dot. 75% pressure compared to a regular tennis ball, feels same weight but still avoids the ball bouncing way over shoulder & head height, for advanced technique improvements! (Racket recommended 26"-27")
Tuesday & Thursday 6pm - 7pm
YELLOW BALL PROGRAM - Recommended for 12 & up.
Regular yellow tennis ball with full compression. Children by this age coming through the system should have sound judgement, foot work & technique to handle a regular ball. Tournaments for this age are now yellow ball. (Racket recommended 27")
Tuesday & Thursday 6pm - 7pm
Junior Academy
A program designed for more serious and competitive Jr Players. The program consists of more comprehensive footwork patterns, heavy drill sessions, point construction based competing, forming weapons to control & dictate points as well as go-to patterns for perming under pressure. Minimum of 2 days per week and expected to compete in local tournaments on a regular basis.
Monday-Friday 9am - 11am (2 hrs)
High Performance Academy
A program designed for students who have aspirations of attaining NCAA college scholarships or becoming a professional player. We offer a weekly set program or customized programs based on each player's goals. With our world class facility, instructors & program, we firmly believe that rather than large academy settings, a personalized tennis program with no limitations is the best way to help navigate a player to fulfill their tennis potential.
Monday-Friday 10:30am - 12:30pm (2 hrs)
Adult Programs
We have programs & leagues available for NEW players to the game through to 5.0 & above. Our clinics are designed to be a great CARDIO workout, as well as tailored SINGLES or DOUBLES designed specific to your team with coaching & training to elevate your game to new heights.
