We’ve completely restructured our youth programs to create tennis programs especially for ages 10 and under. We now offer seven different levels of 10 and Under clinics, each tailored by ability level. We use different balls, different nets and different-sized courts depending on the class. We also offer kids the opportunity to participate in match play and tournaments.

While children are having fun and playing with friends they’re learning a new sport in a way that feels comfortable and familiar. Our kids gain confidence and build better skills in a sport they can play for a lifetime!

• • Game On: (Ages 3 To 4) – CHHRC’s Game On program is designed to introduce the children to the sport of a lifetime, while working on hand eye coordination, agility and balance. They will learn the basic strokes in tennis all in a fun and safe environment.  Each session will consist of a different theme and are 45 minutes long.

• • Red Court: (Ages 5 To 8) – No previous tennis experience is required.  This program uses the 10 and under tennis model: smaller racquets, lower compression balls, and smaller scaled courts.  Children will learn the fundamentals of the game while learning in a safe and fun environment.  Hand eye coordination, agility and balance will be emphasized throughout this program.

• • Red Court Advantage: (Ages 6 To 8) – CHHRC’s Red Court Advantage program is the next level up from Red Court.  These players will continue to work on building coordination, agility and balance in a fun and safe environment.  In order to participate in this program you must be able to hold a consistent rally of 5 shots and start a point with a serve.  During this program children will compete against others in different match formats, work on their contact point, learn spin, placement and proper grips.
