Common Questions
Which level should I sign my child up for?
Levels are primarily based on age and court size. Generally, beginners start with Red Ball (ages 6-8). If your child is between age groups or has significant match experience, please contact us for a level assessment to ensure they are placed in the best environment to grow.
What equipment does my child need?
To ensure safety and performance, players should come prepared with:
  • Proper Racquet Size:
    • Red Tennis 101: 21-23 inch
    • Orange Stars: 23-25 inch
    • Green Challengers: 26 inch
  • Attire: Proper athletic shoes (non-marking soles) and comfortable athletic attire.
  • Hydration: A dedicated water container.
Don't have a racquet yet? No problem—we provide loaner racquets for the class if needed!
What is the weather / rain policy?
Safety is our priority. In the event of rain or wet courts, we will notify parents via email at least one hour before class starts. Makeup sessions will be scheduled for any weather-related cancellations.
