Junior Tennis Lesson Programs: The junior tennis lesson program at Foothills Swim and Racquet Club is based on the highly acclaimed USTA 10 and Under Tennis and USPTA Little Tennis Program. The classes will provide age appropriate movement and ball skills, varied activities and tennis games. The classes are centeredon fun-filled movements and games, not repetitive drills. The idea is to develop eye-hand coordination andtechnically correct basic tennis skills. All children will take part in activities that are organized for total participation which is the core of skill acquisition. The student to instructor ratio is limited to 6:1.
The main goals for all classes are:
To have FUN in a positive, supportive learning environment.

Micro Tennis: Micro Tennis will be at the Woodmen Tennis courts. Micro Tennis is a fun, competitive, team program for kids who haven’t developed all of the necessary skills (especially the serve) to play competitive match tennis. Kids will be divided onto two teams with similar abilities. Points are scored for making contact with the ball (1 point), getting the ball over the net (2 points), and hitting a shot in the court that the opponent can’t reach (3 points). Family members are highly encouraged to sit near the court and cheer for their child and team. Micro tennis is a competition and not a lesson. Your child will not receive technical correction to strokes. The focus is to compete with skills the child already possesses while working on ball tracking, following rules, and sportsmanship in competition. When you sign your child up for Micro tennis you are making a commitment for him/her to be a participant at the matches and to check in on time. Please contact Kim Davis if you need to prorate a session or sign up for individual matches.
