Brief Description

At this level we introduce shot selection, tactics, and patterns of play while continuing to develop the child's game and style of play. The clinics are 1½ hours in duration, on-court for 1 hour and off-court for 30 minutes. Off-court training comprises movement, footwork, overall coordination and fitness and takes place in our state-of-the-art speed and agility training facility.

Progessive Tennis System

Champions follows the ITF's Progressive Tennis System of scaled training and competition for kids which is the development method of choice in the majority of the world's leading tennis nations. It is an exciting play format designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing modified equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size.

Equipment

The program is limited to 4 kids per 78' by 27' court and uses 25% slower tennis balls that bounce at a level proportionate to a child’s height.

Match Play

Players at this level may participate in a 1 hour Match Play on Saturday afternoons. We encourage everyone in the program to participate in Match Play as this is the time when learning from the clinics can be put into the context of a competitive match. All package prices are designed to make Match Play extremely economical, even if the player cannot attend every weekend.

World Class Coaches

This program is led by Kendra Becker, Senior Director of junior tennis, and staffed by a specially selected group of tennis professionals with a particular aptitude for developing younger players.

USTA Team Tennis

players will be invited to play for INTENSITY in the 12 & Under USTA Junior Team Tennis League, playing other clubs in the Southern Connecticut region both in the (25% slower) green ball and regular yellow ball matches. Winning teams progress to state finals.
