Kids Tennis Academy
Academy Curriculum and Playing Levels
At Court 16 we take a holistic approach to teaching tennis. Our coaches guide each player through a progressive curriculum that emphasizes building a strong technical foundation for the long-term benefit of the player. We believe that it's not a race to hit a certain type of ball or play on a larger court, but rather embarking on a journey to develop a deep understanding of the game that will benefit players throughout their lives. We understand that each child is unique and has their own learning style. Age is the starting point for placing children in the appropriate group, but our coaches also make recommendations based on each individual child's progress.
Membership is required to enroll in the Kids Tennis Academy
Purchasing a Court 16 Membership is your passport to enrolling your child into the many lesson offerings within the Academy. All classes run during our Fall and Spring seasons consisting of ~20-week each. Throughout the Summer Season, kids who are not members can participate in classes. However, if your child aims to enhance their game by playing regularly, becoming a member will offer them additional advantages. Please note that class prices differ for non-members. Enroll as early as possible to guarantee preferred start times. Late enrollment pricing is adjusted accordingly.
