Join our year-round Next Generation program, created for dedicated young players ready to establish a strong technical and tactical base in tennis. The core of our training is developing and refining strokes to prepare for competitive play. With sessions offered two days a week, we recommend players commit to both days to see significant improvement.

Next Generation: Orange BallAges 9 & Under

Mon 4:30–6:00 PM | Wed 5:00–6:30 PM | Thu 5:00–6:30 PM (1.5 hr clinics)

Learn to rally with confidence! Our Orange Ball program is designed to help young players learn to rally independently with both forehands and backhands, focusing on maintaining continuous play and developing precision with every bounce and hit. Each session is entirely on-court, using a 60′ court and 50% slower orange dot balls to build skills effectively, with a small group size limited to 4 children per court. Players also have the option to represent INTENSITY in our USTA Junior Team Tennis program, with matches on Saturdays.

Next Generation: Green BallAges 9–11

Tue 5:00–6:30 PM | Wed 5:00-6:30 PM | Thu 5:00–6:30 PM (1.5 hr clinics)

Take control of your game! In our Green Ball clinics, players master the fundamentals of controlling the ball’s height, direction, speed, and spin, with an emphasis on proper footwork and the essential skills needed to compete in full matches. Each 1.5-hour session is entirely on-court, with a low 4-to-1 player-to-court ratio, using a standard 78′ court and 25% slower green dot balls for optimal development. Players also have the opportunity to join our USTA Junior Team Tennis teams, with matches on Saturdays.
