JUNIOR ACADEMY SKILL LEVELS:

Tots (Younger Beginners)- typically our youngest group that is early in development to the game.

Bronze (Beginner) - still early in development to the game but now they are developing coordination with the racket and hitting.

Silver (Intermediate) - these players know how to hold a racket, swing a racket and have the early understanding of what to do on the court.

Gold (Advanced) - Our ready to rally group. These players know what each stroke is and we are here to help then develop their game.

ADULT SKILL LEVELS BREAKDOWNS:

Beginner - still early in development to the game but now the player is developing coordination with the racket and hitting. Before moving to Intermediate, Beginners will need to be able to handle soft toss feeds and actively participate in drill continuation elements in a clinic environment.

Intermediate - these players know how to hold a racket, swing a racket and have the early understanding of what to do on the court. Before moving to Advance, Intermediate players will need to be able to rally back and forth and serve.

Advanced - At this level you are ready to rally. These players know what each stroke is and are learning how to compete. Strategy and further development of competitive skills sets is your primary focus now. If you are an advanced player, we recommend you look at the Saturday Morning Fit -Tennis Program or the Tuesday - Thursday Men’s Tennis hitting groups. If you are an advanced program, you will prefer Non-Academy Programs.
