Junior Tennis

AVAC® Junior Tennis Program is organized by age & features multiple layers of specialized training tools, drills, & games. Young players will utilize smaller courts, lower nets, low compression balls (red, orange, green), & child-sized racquets. These modifications allow our beginning players to dig in & truly experience the excitement & fun of playing the game of tennis. The AVAC® teaching approach is built around the proven success of the 10 & Under Program defined by the United States Tennis Association (USTA).

Mondays, Wednesdays and/or Fridays | 4 - 6 pm

Instruction continues to build on developing a solid foundation in all aspects of a player's game using a regular yellow tennis ball. We begin to focus on building consistency in all strokes & while this can only be accomplished through repetition we will provide a variety of game play situations. This clinic will help players improve their footwork, conditioning, & point/match strategy while incorporating focus & intensity. Students will be taught more advanced strokes & strategy while always focusing on honing stroke production. We will work with each student to maximize their tennis playing skills & abilities while making learning the game of tennis a fun experience. Just like the Junior Green Circuit, this class can range from beginners to advanced players.
