Junior Program
The James Creek junior program is divided into five groups based on age, goals and skill level of the students. Our goal in placing a student in a particular class is to provide an environment where the student will be both challenged and successful. We will be using the USTA sanctioned QuickStart format, whereby children play on a court size suitable for their age and size. The five groups are: Mini Tennis, Aces, Champs, High Performance I, and High Performance II.  Program times are for the school year August through May. Check out the Camps schedule for tournament and summer programs.

 

All non-resident juniors of the James Creek community (with the exception of the Mini Tennis, Aces and Champs classes) are required to become members of the James Creek Tennis Center. Annual tennis facility membership fee is $275 per person, or $28 per month. A family can purchase an annual family tennis facility membership for $440 or $45 per month. The tennis facility membership fee entitles the student to reserve indoor courts for an additional fee, use the outdoor hard and clay courts at no charge, and entitles them to any clinics or programs offered to members.

QuickStart Mini Tennis    For Ages 4-6 years

Students will practice hand-eye coordination, begin to understand 'tennis talk', and learn all the basic strokes of tennis on a modified court appropriate for the age group. Most importantly, our goal is to lay the foundation for a lifelong love of the game by making every class fun and exciting.

Classes will form Monday through Saturday, as the sign-up or request dicate. A minimum of three students is required for each class. Class size will not exceed six students, to ensure a quality student/teacher ratio. Parents are encouraged to participate.  Please contact Zenda Griebenow or Naomi Gusthart to inquire about the program.
