The junior programs are organized according to ages and skill levels which are designated by different colored balls, often referred to as the ROG (Red, Orange, Green) and Yellow Ball Programs developed by the United States Tennis Association (USTA).

Ages 8 – 12:   When comfortable at the red level, players graduate to playing at the orange level. Orange felt balls bounce higher and move faster than the red balls, but lower and slower than the green balls.

Green Ball
Ages 8 – 12:   When comfortable at the orange level, players graduate to playing at the green level. The green ball is very similar to the traditional yellow tennis ball, but has a slightly lower compression so it rebounds lower off the court after a bounce.

Yellow Ball
Ages 12 – 18:   This class is for older juniors.  The yellow ball class will be divided into groups based on how much on-court experience the junior has. Traditional yellow tennis balls are used.
