Our extensive junior tennis programs are
designed with all junior play abilities in mind. Juniors
can begin participating in our programs as young as age 4,
and can continue all the way through high school.
We offer 8-week group junior
clinic sessions beginning just after Labor Day
and continuing through June. Private or
semi-private lessons can also be arranged for
your junior player.
In addition to our clinics and lessons,
juniors can further practice their skills via court time
reservations with family or friends, hitting with one of
our ball machines, or by participating in our many special
events and tournaments scheduled during vacations, school
holidays and at other times throughout the year.
During the summer, we also offer a Sizzling Summer Tennis Program.
See our Special Events section for details on upcoming
junior events and our Sizzling Summer section for details
