Jr. Quick Start

Ages 4-6 (red ball)

In the quick start program we will focus on lots of hand-eye coordination drills, using both dominant and non-dominant hands. We will

work on movement, generating the correct form on all strokes to help your children transition to the orange ball and larger court.

 

Jr. Stars 

Ages 7-9 (orange ball)

Like the Jr. Quick Start program, we are still focusing on hand-eye coordination, but adding footwork. Along with that, will be proper stroke technique, as well as using the appropriate size court to help maximize rallying success.

 

Jr. All Stars 

Ages 10 & up (green dot/regular)

For this age group, we will continue to focus on correct form and technique, as well as adding proper grip and implementing top-spin. We will be utilizing the whole court in this group, heavily emphasizing rallying and consistency, as well as some fitness and agility drills to get them covering the whole court.
