RED BALL: (Ages 6-10) This is a 60-minute class using low-compression red balls.

Our tennis classes for young beginners use the USTA QuickStart progression method. Low compression red balls encourage successful contact. Players learn proper technique from the very beginning. Lessons incorporate fun games to help young players stay focused and establish a love for the game. We evaluate and group players according to ability. Please bring tennis racquet and water bottle.

Please bring tennis racquet and water bottle. [*Beginner players under 11 years should choose Red Ball.]
