Ages 4 to 8
A slow, soft red ball on a short court, so a four year old can actually rally on day one. Lots of movement, lots of games, and a coach who knows how to keep eight kids laughing.
Price TBD — see CourtReserve
Ages 8 to 10
The orange ball still bounces low and slow, but the court gets longer and the points get longer with it. This is where strokes start to look like tennis.
Price TBD — see CourtReserve
Ages 10 and up
The green ball is a regular ball with a little less pressure, played on a full court. Kids here are building the game they will take to school teams and tournaments.
Price TBD — see CourtReserve
By UTR rating
Three training groups sorted by Universal Tennis Rating, for juniors who are playing tournaments or want to. Longer sessions, live-ball training and match play three days a week.

High school age
For teenagers who want to try out for a school team, or just want a sport that is not football. No experience assumed, and nobody in the group has been playing since they were five.
Price TBD — see CourtReserve
Ages 10 to 16
Kids play on a team, in a league, against other San Diego clubs. The fall season begins in October and registration opens in September. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it opens.
