Quick Start: This format, intended for beginners from 4-7 years old, uses smaller courts and unique balls which won’t bounce as high or travel as fast. This innovative approach will facilitate proper techniques and make it much easier for young kids to grow into the game.
Junior Academy: During the school year, we offer lesson groups Mondays through Fridays after school, and also on Saturday afternoons. These groups are offered for players of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced players. Emphasis is placed on both mechanics and strategies, utilizing a number of drills and games during each lesson.
Elite Program: Designed for USTA tournament players, as well as those on their school’s JV and varsity teams, this program pushes the kids harder than our normal junior academy. We expect that players in this program have a solid fundamental background, and therefore we focus more on strategies and execution than mechanics. Players are expected to take their game seriously, and work hard to improve. While instructors will lead the drills and games during the groups, players must take responsibility for their game themselves. Groups are offered after school during the week, and also on Saturday afternoons.
Junior Tennis Ladder: Challenge your friends and move your way up the ladder while gaining positive match experience. Ladder match times will be set up each week. For more information, and to sign up, contact Jeff.
Junior Shootout: This walk-in program allows kids to play matches against their peers in an informal setting. Pizza, prizes, games and match play is included. Fee is $15 (members) and $25 (non-members). NO CHARGE for members currently enrolled in our Junior Academy! Shootouts will take place on Saturdays from 5:30pm - 7:00 pm
Birthday Parties: Schedule a party at the club for you and your friends! Parties include time spent on court playing games with instructors, followed by a party in a private room where guests can enjoy food, music, etc.
Vacation/Holiday Camps: Tri-City Fitness junior holiday and school break camps are open to kids from the ages of 5-16, across all ability levels. Each day, the players are split up into groups by ability. Campers are engaged in drills and fun games geared toward their level throughout the course of the program.
Summer Camp: Our Summer Camp program is open for kids from the ages of 5-16 at all skill levels. Camp is split in to morning and afternoon sessions. Players can choose between either session or they can participate in our full day program.
