SCRA 2011 Winter Junior Tennis Clinic Information and Registration

January 3 - March 23, 2012

The SCRA junior clinic program is a progressive plan where children move through the levels as their athletic and tennis skills develop. In all of our quick start classes we stress the athletic development A,B,C's: agility, balance, coordination and speed.  Within each age group students are placed with others at the appropriate level. Students may register for either one, two, or three days per week. Registering for multiple days provides for optimum learning and improvement. 

Class Descriptions

Kinder Tennis Ages 4 - 5  This class introduces younger children, ages 4 and 5,  who have not had previoous tennis instruction and have not completed kindergarten to tennis in a fun and supportive way using scaled down courts and equipment.

Orange Developmental - Ages 7 - 11 
This class introduces tennis, and builds on skills developed in a previous class, to children ages 7 to 11 to tennis and reinforces skills to children who have previously taken a beginner course. Instruction emphasizes a systematic, modern, fun, games based approach and uses scaled down equipment and courts to allow children to experience a great deal of success. When players in this program are ready they are invited to participate in free weekly supervised play days. Students "graduate" from the Quick Start program to our junior team.

Children with previous tennis experience who can sustain a baseline rally and are ready to begin match play should inquire about placement on the SCRA Junior Tennis Team prior to registering, as that program may be more appropriate.

Please note....We also offer the following  for 3 and 4 year olds.  Little Tennis and Sports Skills Ages 3 - 4 (Pre K)  - This relaxed environment will help participants to establish a base for gross motor and athletic skill development. Development of general athleticism is more important for kids this age than tennis specific skills.  We'll use fun games to teach kids how to throw, catch, track balls, and learn to move with good balance and posture.  As players progress we will use modified tennis equipment to begin to apply these skills in a more tennis specific way.  Instruction is available in private lessons, or groups of up to 3 children.

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS.   

 For additional information please contact Andrea Barnes, SCRA Tennis Director.
