About The Program
January 5 — May 10, 2015
The Program
The Jr. Excellence Program is designed for the total
development of the Junior tennis player. Private lessons provide individual attention. Clinics reinforce the
skills learned in the private lesson. Play strategies are
emphasized in structured games and during playday
matches. Tournament trips are scheduled throughout
the year to provide coaching and match analysis. The
Jr. Excellence Program provides a total learning environment.
Excellence students participate in a weekly program
consisting of:
Makeup Policy
Clinics canceled because of weather will be rescheduled if needed (we have 3 days set aside for rain and
tournament misses factored into the cost of the program). If you miss clinic for your own reasons there is
no makeup (ie. sickness or
minor injury). A full staff is
always maintained at clinics.
Private lessons must be made
up. The Club has a 24 hour
cancellation policy that will
be enforced!
Dates and Times
One Hour Private Lesson
Individual strokes and styles of play are
emphasized specific to the students needs.
Drill Clinic
Instructor controlled drills are used to polish existing
strokes, develop movement, and create play situations. An outstanding 4 to 1 instructor ratio assures
plenty of individual attention.
Team Practice
Team practice will emphasize different skills than the
drill clinic. Live ball drills,
structured games and play
situations will be used to
develop play strategies and
court sense.
Two Playdays
Students apply what they learned in lessons
and clinics to real match situations. Playday
is organized and closely monitored by Gary
and other staff members.
Getting a Lesson Time
Please contact your pro as soon as possible to confirm
your lesson time. Times will be given out on the following priorities: 1) you have first choice on keeping
last year’s time 2) returning students who wish to
change times 3) new students.
