This program is for those players with basic tennis knowledge. Although stroke mechanics will be an important part of each class, consistency and control, spins, placement, and other more advanced techniques will be developed at this level. Players will also learn singles and doubles strategy and tactics.

Western’s Tournament Performance Program is a place for motivated young athletes to maximize their potential on and off the courts. Through tennis, these players will learn skills like determination, dedication, critical thinking, and teamwork to help them achieve their goals. This program is geared toward players that desire to be pushed in a variety of drills and situational point play. In the group activities, athletes work on specific skills through game-based drills. They also refine their technique, footwork, reactions, and other skills through repetitive, pro-fed drills. There are several tournaments each year that players (9 and up) will be recommended to play.

This player will learn and establish a solid tennis foundation. Ranging
from beginner to advanced beginner, players will develop the
fundamental techniques in all strokes and the tactics for using those
techniques. They will have a full understanding of both singles and
doubles play.

Designed for children ages 7-8, this program expands on the player’s ability to rally. While continuing to improve their coordination and balance, players will learn proper technique, grip selections, serve, footwork patterns, and preparation. Competitive play is introduced through game-based drills on the 60’ court.
