JUNIOR TENNIS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Registration will open on May 1st for Non-Members


The Junior Development Program is designed to introduce and develop children between the ages of 7 and 16 to the game of tennis in a fun and rewarding way.  Because they have such a good time, children love their tennis experience and want to continue playing.  Participants are grouped with other children based on age and level to insure a FUN, comfortable, and social environment. We use a variety of red, orange, green and yellow balls to maximize the experience and success of all ages.   Children are taught consistency while developing all aspects of their game including serve, groundstrokes, and net play. Participants are also introduced to a variety of specialty shots including lobs, drop shots, approach shots, drop volleys and half volleys. In addition to working on mechanics, children are exposed to match play, introducing them to various styles of play from their opponents.  

Days: Monday - Friday (Weekdays)
Time: 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

This year we are happy to continue to provide access to indoor tennis courts for use during inclement weather. On rainy days, the program will be held in the gym at Rumsey Hall. (You will receive an email if it is a rain day.) The fee for this option will be $10 per child each day they play inside Rumsey. There is an optional lunch period at 11:am prior to Tennis JDP at Club Hall. Children can bring their own lunch or purchase and receive delivery from an assortment of lunch offerings from The Po Cafe.  An order form will be provided to you prior to the week(s) you are registered for.
A shuttle bus will provide transportation from Golf to Tennis for those children participating in both day programs for a weekly fee of $40.  (Limited to 14 children per day.)
