13-17 Year Old

Teen Development

Game-Driven Training for Teens

Tailored for ages 13-17, our Teen Development pathway helps players deepen technical skill, build tactical understanding, and grow as both athletes and individuals.

The teenage years are where tennis starts to take shape — skills sharpen, goals form, and players begin to discover their style. The Teen Development program gives every athlete, no matter their starting point, the tools and guidance to reach their next level in an encouraging and social environment.

This teen program is designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners through intermediate, advanced, and high-performance levels. The structured curriculum ensures that regardless of your current ability or future aspirations, you will receive the appropriate training to develop essential skills and meet your objectives in a fun and social based environment.

Coaches balance focus with enjoyment, challenging players to improve while keeping the love of the game front and center. The result is steady progress, greater confidence, and a stronger connection to the sport — both on and off the court.

Teen Development: Full size court. 27 inch racquet. Normal tennis ball. Ages 13-17.

Teen Development Beginner:

Join a fun and supportive program designed to build your confidence and tennis game from the ground up. The program will start with foundational skills, focusing on the forehand and backhand, with the 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.

Teen Development 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.

Teen Development Advanced:

This program refines your core forehand, backhand, volley, and serve techniques through advanced drills. Players will master ball control, increase shot consistency, and develop sophisticated game strategies for both singles and doubles. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on consistent rallying and competitive play. More complex footwork patterns, different recovery and court positions will also be incorporated.

Teen Development High Performance:

This intensive program is designed for experienced players seeking to elevate their game to the next level. The curriculum focuses on refining existing techniques and mastering sophisticated strategies through a combination of on-court drills and specialized physical conditioning. 

Players will work on advanced drills to improve their forehand, backhand, volley, and serve. Emphasis is placed on mastering ball control, increasing shot consistency, and developing power and precision. A significant portion of the curriculum is dedicated to high-intensity, consistent rallying to build match toughness and competitive skills.

The program covers game strategies applicable to both singles and doubles. More complex footwork patterns, recovery techniques, and strategic court positioning are also integrated into the training. Specialized on-court physical training is included to enhance footwork speed, agility, and overall athleticism, crucial for high-level competitive tennis. 

This program is best suited for players who already possess solid foundational skills and are ready to dedicate themselves to intensive training to compete at a higher level, whether in tournaments, leagues, or competitive social play.
