RED BALL
Basic fundamentals are taught on smaller 36’ courts using slower red, low compression balls. Players will develop movement skills (agility, balance and coordination), along with sending and receiving skills such as rolling, tossing (underhand), throwing (overhand) and catching through fun, tennis-specific activities and games.

ALL LEVELS. Players will be placed onto courts in groups based on ability level:
