We use a “Game Based Model” (GBM) that introduces hand & eye and movement motor-skills as part of learning and playing the game. We follow the youth progression pathway that uses low compression foam balls (red, orange and green dot) and proper sized racquets and courts which enables children to learn and play tennis more effectively using proper movement and stroke technique. The program is designed to introduce tennis, athletic skills and self-confidence, while learning the basic tennis skills. Student program registration and placement are based upon age, athletic and tennis ability. New students will be evaluated by our PATC Pro-Staff.

In the Orange Ball Program, children have graduated through the introductory Red Ball Program and have a good working knowledge of basic grips, stroke production and reaction and motor skills. Students in the Orange Ball program are introduced to the “3 DIMENSIONS OF TENNIS”; height, spin and variation of depth. Players will focus on improving their movement and rallying skills. We guide each player through the development of their tennis mechanics and shot consistency. We use fun agility, balance, coordination and movement activities to improve each player’s level and progression into the Green Ball Program.

This class is for the junior who has progressed through the Orange Ball Program and is now able to rally consistently with proper technique on a 78ft  court. When a player is ready to move up to the Green Ball Program, they should be able to serve, rally and score with a certain level of proficiency and confidence. Coaches will accomplish these goals through hand and racquet feeding and live ball progression drills. Coaches provide constant feedback and assign corrections to players to give them a point of focus throughout the lessons. This training session emphasizes all aspects of the game and helps improve proper shot technique. Focus is placed on live ball drills that develop rallying and decision-making skills along with proper movement and recovery. Point playing games are used to reinforce the skills learned and to improve a players competitive skills.
