Thank you for selecting Short Court Tennis!

Short Court Tennis uses a progressive teaching system. This allows players to start on a court that is "their size" with junior size racquets and low compression balls. The scaled down courts and low compression balls allow the players to get to the ball quicker and strike the ball with confidence, in their strike zone. Coaches also have more success teaching the players because the players are able to get to the ball and are more successful at striking the ball, more often.

We have seen many players learn to love the lifetime sport of tennis!

Short Court Tennis has added 3 skill levels to our system. We have found that some children come into the program having already had some experience in tennis while other children have never set foot on a tennis court. In order for all players to get the most out of their lesson we have formulated an improved progression system.

With Red, Orange, and Green levels, each player will be evaluated based on ability, then will be placed where we believe they will be most successful.  Once the player shows the skills necessary to move to the next “level” they will be moved up. A Skills Level checklist must be accomplished at each level before progressing to the next level.  Because this idea is based on skill level and not as much age of players, your child may be with other children of different ages, but all of the players will be of the same play level.  A player of average ability should move through each level in about 12 weeks (once a week lesson and practice at home/tennis court).

Once they have accomplished the levels and feel ready to compete, SCT offers USTA and ALTA teams for league play.

LEVEL PROGRESSION
