Junior Development Pathway
Kids play on smaller courts with modified equipment to make it easier and more fun to progress. We have lighter racquets, lower nets, and tennis balls that don’t bounce too high, so they are easier to hit and chase down.
Our program develops kids mentally and physically. A child’s early years are when fine motor skills are developed, and tennis is amazing for developing coordination, speed, strength, and agility.
Tennis Hot Shots is, above all, FUN! Kids develop their social and problem-solving skills while playing in a team and as individuals. Also, they learn how to cope with wins and losses fairly.
