Youth Tennis Lessons

Learn to Play Tennis

Each class provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere to introduce the fundamentals: developing ball sense, concentration, attention to detail and good sportsmanship. Classes include instruction, drills, fun games, fitness, agility and team building exercises.

For players at every level, there is a personalized approach to improving power, control, and game play strategy. Every level will work to learn and improve the forehand, backhand, volley, and serve.

Instructors will divide the participants into appropriate ages and skill levels the first week of lessons.

CHOOSING A TENNIS RACQUET: The following are standard guidelines for age and racquet length selection. If an 8-year-old is the size of an average 10-year-old, choose the 10-12 racquet. Move up one size (possibly two) to adjust for exceptionally high physical strength or ability, but adjusting down for lack of strength is almost never necessary. A junior player should use as long a racquet as he/she can comfortably handle. This will encourage development of smooth strokes that utilize good weight transfer and larger muscles. Too small a racquet encourages excessive wrist and elbow action, which, in the long run, will harm both stroke development and the arm. A junior is generally ready for an adult racquet when weighing 85 pounds or more.
Age: Racquet Length
0-4: 19"

6-7: 23"
8-10: 25"
