U10 Tennis Clinic: Orange Ball
This clinic is designed for players ages 8-10 years who have graduated from the Red Ball series. Orange felt balls bounce higher and move faster than red felt or foam balls– a step closer to the traditional yellow tennis ball. Players will continue to work on tennis fundamentals in addition to learning to hit with direction, height and depth on a smaller court. A game-based curriculum will be used to develop the fundamentals necessary to serve and rally.
Player placement will be determined by staff evaluation at first attended clinic.
