Tennis Coaching & Consultation
PHASE I: JUNIOR PATHWAY
Staley Tennis’s junior pathway program is focused on initiating elementary school players into the sport. We work with Net Generation to train young players the right way. We equip them with the correct racquets, transition balls and nets and appropriately sized courts for each age group. Our drills focus on the ABCs (agility, balance and coordination skills) needed to develop into a complete junior player.
Players will earn graduation certificates from each program and unique tennis-specific report cards each season. All players in the Junior Pathway will be first in line for all future academy openings.
