Junior Program Policies
Fairfax Racquet Club’s Junior Program is 36 weeks of professional
tennis instruction beginning in September and ending in June. We
offer open enrollment for new students with prorated tuition from the
time of enrollment.
Early enrollment and multiple class discounts are available. See
applications for details.
If tuition is not paid in full at the time of registration, an initial
installment will be collected at the time of registration. The balance
will be billed to the student’s club account in three installments, due
October 31st, December 31st and February 28th.
Your credit card will not be charged automatically.
All balances which are 30 days past due are subject to a 1.5% monthly
service fee. The annual rate is 18%.
New students may try out FRC’s Junior Program with no obligation. If
the child subsequently enrolls in a class, the tuition is prorated to
include the tryout date.
Enrolled students are permitted to make up missed classes in other
days at the level currently enrolled*. Make up classes do not expire
until June 11 or when the student is no longer enrolled in the program.
We do not offer refunds for missed tennis classes. *Early cancellation
will result in forfeiture of any remaining make-up classes.
Please note that students are supervised only while on court during
class and are not supervised off court, before or after their class.
Fairfax Racquet Club retains the right to assign, shift, postpone or
cancel classes as necessary.

Program Structure:
Philosophy: The FRC Junior Program follows the USTA standards
Quick Start: (Beginner-Intermediate Skill Level)
for player development by using a low compression ball progression
that scales court size, racquet size, and type of ball to the age and size
of the player. We want our players to have fun from the start so that
they develop a love for the game, while at the same time learning good
techniques and skills that will allow them to maximize their potential
on the court. We strongly believe in the process of development and
that there are no shortcuts to success. Our program structure builds
with the big picture in mind.
