Junior Programs

History of the Program

Our Junior Program is well known throughout New England for training top juniors of all ages. More top juniors have emerged from this club in the past decade than any other in the area. We have a program that will suit your child's needs and our highly trained staff follow a detailed lesson plan each week to insure that your child learns all the appropriate tactical and technical fundamentals so that they can become proficient and enjoy the game.

Quickstart & Progressive Tennis

Similar to other sports, Quickstart scales the game down to the proper ball, court size and rackets for the appropriate age. Players learn all aspects of the game at any age and level and can play matches, compete on teams and even play tournaments as young as 7 or 8 years old. "Playing the game" makes it so much more fun for children to learn and we have a comprehensive program that teaches coordination, reception skills, footwork and movement, racket and ball skills, all with the purpose of getting kids to enjoy and play the game. Quickstart is the #1 initiative for the USTA and we are one of the first clubs in Connecticut to fully utilize it.

Our Junior Program starts at level 7 ( beginners and PeeWees) and goes all the way to level 1 ( Tournament Training, top level Juniors). There is a group and level for everyone. We employ the Quickstart Program, made popular in Europe and Canada as Progressive Tennis.
