It depends on the maturity of the boy or girl but we start many kids at 4-years-old in our Future Stars tennis program. Kids 4-to7-years-old are invited to get their start in tennis in this program which focuses on movement, coordination, judgement, basic strokes, and having fun! Next are the Rising Stars, Level I, for 7-14 year olds, which introduces players to serving and tactics. In these clinics the drills are faster and have more movement. Rising Stars, Level II is a program that is designed for players to start match play. The serve and ability to sustain a rally is the barometer to be in this group. This is the level where kids start playing the Grand Prix (Fridays at 6:30 pm) and earn points and compete for trophies.
