CARDINAL SWIM AND TENNIS CLUB
SUMMER 2015 JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAM (AGES 10 & UNDER)
The Junior Development Program at Cardinal Swim & Tennis will offer junior players USTA approved 10 & Under instruction that is fun, encouraging and productive. 10 & Under “QuickStart” Tennis is an innovative play format that will help to get more children 10 years of age and under into the game by utilizing special equipment, smaller court dimensions, and simple scoring that is tailored to their age and size. The program will strive to make tennis accessible, educate players in proper technique and strategy and provide continuous motivation for students to reach their potential. All programs are designed to be fun and challenging. Our program will allow the junior players to be challenged yet gain skills through this process and allow them to learn to “play” at a more rapid rate. The instruction will be group or team-based and directed by dedicated & certified professionals, with all sessions having low student-to-pro ratios. The program is made up of 2 groups, which will be formed at the discretion of the Pro by age & ability.
