The Jr. Excellence Program is designed for the total development of the Junior tennis player. Private lessons provide individual attention. Clinics reinforce the skills learned in the private lesson. Play strategies are emphasized in structured games and during playday matches. Tournament trips are scheduled throughout the year to provide coaching and match analysis. The Jr. Excellence Program provides a total learning environment.
Please contact your pro as soon as possible to confirm your lesson time. Times will be given out on the following priorities: 1) you have first choice on keeping last year’s time 2) returning students who wish to change times 3) new students.
Clinics canceled because of weather will be rescheduled if needed (we have 4 days set aside for rain and tournament misses factored into the cost of the program). If you miss clinic for your own reasons there is no makeup (ie. sickness or minor injury). A full staff is always maintained at clinics. Private lessons must be made up. The Club has a 24 hour cancellation policy that will be enforced!
The Spring program runs for 17 weeks beginning January 2 through May 12. There are two one-week breaks February 20-24 and March 27-31. All clinics and playdays are from 4:30-6:30PM.
Private Lesson…Schedule at your convenience.
Team Practice, Drilling and Playdays …will take place Monday—Thursday from 4:30—6:30pm. Each week will consist of some variation of practice, drilling and playdays based on the footwork, stroke production and point construction segments for that week.
