Junior Ladder Descriptions

Fourth Ladder

(Two Sub-Groups: Ages 4-5, and Ages 6-7)
The Fourth Ladder clinic is intended to introduce young children to tennis. This year we will incorporate the USTA's Quickstart Program at Mashantum.  As in the past, some time will be devoted to non-tennis activities to enable children to develop motor skills and coordination.  When we proceed to play, we will use smaller racquets, nets and courts, as well as, softer, low bounce balls to enhance their ability to actually play tennis at this young age.

Third Ladder

(Ages 8-10)
Step up one rung to reach this next Ladder.  Technique for all strokes, stroke and fitness drills, fun games, and an introduction to strategy will all be part of this clinic.  Focus will be on consistency, starting to play real matches, and etiquette.

Second Ladder

(Ages 11-13)
Another rung higher and you've made it to the next Ladder.  Soon the top Ladder and Team match play will be in reach.  Continued instruction on technique and strategies, as well as, drills, fitness, etiquette, and, of course, match play and games.   

First Ladder (and Junior Team)

(Ages 14-17)
This top Ladder has it all.  Technique, Drills, Strategy, Fitness, Etiquette, Match Play, and Inter-Club Team Match Play on Fridays (Substituted for Friday's Clinic will be the Inter-Club Match from 1:00-3:00pm.  First Ladder participants should arrive early to warm-up on match days)
