Beginning Children's - 4:00 PM (for children ages 5-12): 

This group is for children with no tennis experience or some previous exposure to the sport through group, private or summer camp lessons.  In this session (8 weeks), the focus will be on developing a solid foundation in stroke formation to provide the child with the requisite skills to progress rapidly.  Through a variety of racquet and foot work drills for the groundstrokes, serve, and volley, students will develop the positive habits necessary to hit the ball correctly and consistently, with good form and good technique, in an active, yet disciplined progressive learning method. This class will also include an introduction to the volley and the serve, plus stretching and strengthening drills, some running  drills, and hand-eye coordination games.

 

Intermediate Children's - 5:00 PM (for children ages 5 - 12): 

These groups are for children  who are graduates of the Beginning Children's group, or those who have taken private lessons to develop a comparable skill level. This group continues their development of the fundamentals of the groundstrokes, volley and serve, and introduces new and more challenging drills associated with each stroke. A substantial amount of time is also dedicated to learning about match play, etiquette, and other protocols associated with the game, both for singles and doubles. Each session mirrors the content of the Intermediate and Advanced Adults session as preparation for advancement to those levels.
