Youth Tennis Winter 2010 Phoenixville

Our popular instructional program for ages 3-5 returns to the Civic Center in Phoenixville. Sessions focus on grips, footwork, fundamental strokes, volleys, basic rules, sportsmanship and fun! Session 1 dates are Dec. 5, 12 & 19 and January 2, 9 & 16 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. January 23 is reserved as an inclement weather makeup. We will set up a portable net in the Civic Center, and have age-appropriate rackets available for all children who do not own one. This is an affordable and fun way for a child to learn the basics of the game!

Our winter training program for ages 10-14 is similar to our Silver Tennis program, but the conditioning is more intense and the drills are more advanced. While the emphasis is on fun and developing a love for this lifelong sport, coaches introduce more difficult shots such as serves and drop shots. Session 1 dates are December 5, 12 & 19 and January 2, 9 & 16 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Civic Center. This is a great way for children who love tennis to avoid winter rust while having a blast.
