JUNIOR PROGRAM
JUNIOR CLINICS
MRC Junior Clinic Interest Form - September 2024
Clinics are available for children ranging from ages 4 to 18 and accommodate all levels. We hold three junior sessions throughout the indoor season; fall, winter and spring. Our junior clinics model programs developed and endorsed by the USTA and the International Tennis Federation. The program is designed to help children learn tennis more quickly using age-appropriate equipment (A slower moving and lower bouncing ball, an appropriately sized racquet, and a smaller court with a lower net, among other things.)
They are divided into four levels of early tennis instruction: Red Ball, Orange Ball, Green Ball, and Yellow Ball. Classes are split up by both age and skill level, and players can move into new classes after instructors assess their progress and determine that they have mastered the skills necessary to advance. Once players advance through Red, Orange, and Green Ball classes, they move into Yellow Ball classes, which use the familiar standard balls, racquets, and court sizes.

RED BALL 2
At the Red 2 level, lessons are designed to introduce the second level of tennis competencies. This group focuses on the development of topspin on both forehand and backhand groundstrokes, appropriate use of grips, including continental, and useful execution of tennis-specific footwork patterns (i.e. split step, side shuffle). Red 2 players will move to the final stage of the Red program with a much - improved understanding of how to “play” the game, including the ability to “move” the ball (especially side to side) while recognizing “open court” spaces. Court: 36ft
ORANGE BALL CLINICS (ages 8 - 10)
This level is designed to build upon the red ball foundation. Players will begin to form an all court game focusing on technique, balance, agility and tactical awareness.

to continue building athletic skills while learning or refining the skills necessary to serve, rally and score. Before moving to the next level of the Orange program, these players will demonstrate an understanding of proper technique and maintain that technique during point and match play. Court: 60ft
COURT: 60’ Orange Court
BALL: Orange low compression ball
RACQUET: 23” or 25” length

in their own development and their competitive interests are rising.
