RED BALL
This introductory program is designed to develop early tennis skills that include stage 1, 2, & 3 balls, groundstrokes (stationary & moving), serving (1/2 & full motion), volleys, overheads, and basic vocabulary. The class goal is to maintain a simple short-court rally and serve 1 of 3 balls into the correct service box while using the proper technique.
Student-Instructor ratio is 8:1 (Some classes are offered with a 4:1 student-instructor ratio*)
ORANGE BALL
For graduates of RED BALL level or by instructor approval. Players will use primarily the orange low-compression ball to continue to develop proper form and ball spin. The focus of the class will improve tracking while keeping good form, and improve precision when targeting different areas of the court. New tennis games and drills will be introduced to reach the goal and transition to GREEN BALL level.
