future stars
TennisPower FutureStars Program is designed to advance player development towards becoming a USTA Tournament Player. AM training consists of goal-setting, ball control, fitness and technical drills. Players must meet minimum skills level to join class and are currently playing Team Tennis, USTA Satellite or Lower Level Open Tournaments. At this level we will always work with players changing between green dot and normal tennis balls to help wit the transition and also help develop tactically between the various balls and playing styles. We feel its essential for young players to understand and master different point structures with green dot balls which ultimately prepares them to plan out points in a very advanced way.

The TennisPower Academy GREEN DOT/ ORANGE DOT programs have been designed to accelerate both young and older beginner players. The goal is to develop motor skills towards becoming an efficient tennis player through instruction, drills, exercises and fun games. Designed by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the governing body of tennis in the United States, this innovative program was launched in 2008. The developmental programs we offer at the TennisPower Academy include lessons and playing opportunities that aim to make tennis more accessible to children ages 5-10. We try and guide young players through a series of transitional stages.
Customization makes the game accessible right away. Graduated sizes of racquets, lower-bouncing balls and scaled-down court sizes create a game that is customized to each child’s age and ability
The result? Players learn to rally faster and enjoy the game sooner. Children eventually move to full-court tennis and a lifelong love of the game.
Why our approach works?
Our highly successful approach overcomes the factors that often intimidate young players such as full-sized courts, full-sized racquets and standard high bouncing balls.
Many of these hurdles deter young kids from trying the game of tennis and make tennis instruction more like a lesson in frustration!We feel QuickStart is the polar opposite. It offers a “real tennis” experience but is scaled down for children in every way from equipment to court size. Youngsters can start playing during their first lesson, making the game enjoyable. We feel this is the perfect way to introduce young boys and girls to the game!
Orange
When children ages 5 to 7 can maintain an extended rally with the instructor and use basic tennis techniques, they move to the orange stage — generally for 6 to 18 months with racquets that range from 23” to 25.” Students are taught intermediate technique for footwork, net play, and serves as well as basic strategy, how to play points and keep score.
Green
This stage is for students ages 8 to 10 who can rally, place the ball with intention, place the volley for winners when necessary and are beginning to understand strategy and tactics. Players move to regulation size courts and use green felt balls to continue learning the game for 6 to 18 months.
AT PRC WE BELIEVE TENNIS FOR TOTS/QUICKSTART IS GREAT FOR KIDS.
