10-13 Year Old

Development

Where Fundamentals Meet Confidence

This stage helps children aged 10-13 refine fundamentals and begin meaningful match play, all in a fun, safe and structured club setting.

As players grow older, they’re ready for more than just practice — they’re ready to understand the why behind every shot. The Development program bridges the gap between foundational skills and competitive awareness, guiding players as they adapt to a full-size court and a more structured style of play.

This program is designed for players aged 10 and older who are ready to transition to or start on a full-size court. The curriculum is tailored to the player's experience level. Beginners focus on foundational skills and basic tactics in a supportive environment. Intermediate players receive more complex technical training.

Coaches emphasize consistency, movement, and smart decision-making while maintaining a positive, team-centered atmosphere. Players leave each session a little stronger, a little smarter, and more confident in their ability to play real tennis with purpose.

Regular Ball: Full size court. 26-27 inch racquet. Normal tennis ball. Ages 10-13.

Regular Ball Beginner:

Join a fun and supportive program designed to build your tennis game from the ground up. The program will start with foundational skills, focusing on the forehand and backhand, with the ultimate goal of getting you to comfortably sustain a rally. From there, we’ll guide you through more advanced strokes, including the serve, volley, overhead, and return of serve. You'll gain the technical skills and coordination needed to make consistent contact, moving from rallying with a coach to playing with others.

Regular Ball Intermediate:

The next stage of our development process will focus on advancing player skills beyond the fundamentals. This phase uses more advanced drills to deeply refine forehand, backhand, volley, and serve techniques. We will systematically introduce different spins, control over ball depth and height, and emphasize overall shot consistency. Beyond technical execution, players will develop their game strategy, understanding tactical situations and effective court positioning for both singles and doubles matches. The curriculum also integrates specialized physical training to enhance footwork, agility, and overall athleticism. All these skills will be honed through more structured drills and competitive games, specifically designed to prepare players for recreational tournaments and school team competitions.
