Our Junior Academy program focuses on the tennis and athletic development of players 11 – 17 years old. Each of our four Junior academy programs (JA1, JA2, JA3, and High School Premier) is organized and conducted with specific goals based on age, ability and experience so that all can experience success and improvement in their tennis journey. We offer in-house match play opportunities and competition events so that players can gain experience and prepare for school tennis and/or tournaments should they wish to do so. Our qualified coaches follow the latest industry standards for junior tennis development and will help your child reach their tennis goals in a positive environment.
