Player Development
fall / winter / spring
Our ROGY (Red, Orange, Green and Yellow) clinics prepare new junior tennis players for a life-long love for the sport of tennis. Players develop a foundation by working on the fundamentals of hand-eye coordination, movement skills and stroke production. Progression through the ROGY program is based on the player’s success at a given level as determined by the coaches.
A wonderful complement to our ROGY program is our League Play by Division on Saturdays. Our coaches will guide our players through the following areas to ensure they gain proficiency during league play: match rules and scoring, strategy and tactics, mental toughness and sportsmanship.
Our new school-year schedule begins Monday, August 15, 2022 and players may register for the days that work best for them at any point during the school year. Clinics are offered Mondays thru Thursdays and Saturdays to offer a flexible schedule for our families.
