EARLY START tennis

Our Early Start Tennis program is specially designed for schools. We provide on campus tennis programming for Pre K, T K and K- Grade 5. Our program can be done on the black top area of any school campus. The size of the area needed will depend on the number of students per class. We provide all equipment which includes tennis racquets, tennis nets, cones and ground equipment.

Our coaches are USPTA certified and insured and are specifically trained in 10 and under tennis. Each grade level has specific training regimen based on the United States Tennis Association’s Net Generation Red and Orange ball curriculum. These activities, games and drills are designed to build the fundamentals of tennis such as sending and receiving through tossing and catching, hand and eye coordination through various exercises of catching, trapping and bouncing as well as hand and feet coordination through fun movement and games. All equipment used in the program are purposely selected to develop proper body mechanics and structure to help build a foundation for future tennis development.

Coach Javon Montgomery heads the program and has more than 20 years of experience working with junior tennis players ages 3-17. He has previously worked with USTA Northern California as a coach at the training center in Northern California and has worked extensively with junior tennis players under the player development model. He has coached nationally ranked juniors and recreational player alike. His goal with this program is to give junior an early start to their tennis development and to create a lasting memory and create an early love for what can be a very difficult sport.
