Champs  Junior Tennis Program

Fall 2010

 

The Galleria Tennis and Athletic Club is proud to offer a year-round indoor junior tennis program for children of all ability levels age, 4-17.  Our USPTA certified pros will help beginners to advanced players prepare to learn this lifelong sport or take their competitive game to the next level. Our program has been designed to offer encouragement to youngsters who wish to improve their tennis skills through practice. For beginner players, the curriculum emphasizes stroke production, competition, games, and an abundance of FUN.  The more advanced players will benefit from intense drills, match play situations, video analysis, and off court conditioning.

Little Champs (ages 4-6): This class will introduce children to tennis through basic stroke instruction and creative drills and games to improve hand-eye coordination and motor skills.  Safety and lots of fun are the cornerstones to the Little Champs program. 

New Champs (ages 6-9): No previous instruction is needed.  Students will learn fundamentals of all strokes as well as basic scoring, rules, and tennis etiquette through instruction, drills, modified match play, and fun games.  

Champs (ages 9 and up):  For intermediate level players.  Emphasis is on stroke production, serving, scoring, introduction to hitting spins, and point play.  Students in the Champs class will be prepared for match play and are encouraged to participate in Inter Clubs, Junior Team Tennis, and the HPTA Junior Gran Prix.

Varsity Champs (invitational): This class covers more advanced strokes, strategies, and match play through intense drills and competitive point situations.  Members of this class are expected to play ZATs, Champ, and Super Champ tournaments for development.
