Youth Tennis Winter 2010-11 Phoenixville

Our popular instructional program for ages 3-5 returns to the historic Civic Center in Phoenixville. Sessions focus on grips, footwork, fundamental strokes, volleys, basic rules, sportsmanship and fun! Session 1 dates are November 13, 20 & 27 and December 4, 11 & 18 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. December 19 is reserved as the makeup date for inclement weather. We will set up portable nets 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!

This program for Ages 6-9 is the perfect place for young players to develop their strokes, tennis knowledge, and love for the game. Each 90-minute session includes 10 minutes of warm-ups and conditioning, 45 minutes of instruction and stroke development, and 30-40 minutes of fun drills and games. Program dates are November 13, 20 & 27 and December 4, 11 & 18 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Civic Center. Rackets are available for children who do not own one. This is the most affordable and fun way for newcomers to learn the game and for returning players to develop their skills.

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 November 13, 20 & 27 and December 4, 11 & 18 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.
