2024-2025 Junior Program

The West Side pathway offers junior group tennis instruction for players of all levels (recreation through tournament training) and for all ages (3-17 years old).

For our future developing stars, we use Specialized balls (foam balls and low compression red, orange, and green balls) for their age, size, and ABILITY in order to train their roles and techniques properly. These specialized balls ensure proper stroke production and technique are achieved before transitioning to the heavier regulation balls. These regulation-size yellow balls will be used with older players (more advanced).

The ENTIRE WSTC pathway is ultimately geared toward Tournament Training. The pathway is based on a level system. While beginner-level players will work on fundamental stroke production and techniques, more advanced-level players will experience a high-performance program that is rigorous in its physical and mental training.
