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).

Designed to introduce the basic strokes of the game: forehand, backhand, volley, overhead & the serve. The main area of focus is working towards each child being able to repeat each stroke using a green (dot) tennis ball. We will also emphasize proper footwork & movement through live ball drills as well as conditioning that are essential to developing the complete tennis player. Each student will be taught how to keep score and basic tennis concepts. For beginners to advanced players.

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.
