Green

Green is for ages 9-11-years-old. This level uses a 78-foot green-level court, up to 27-inch racquets and green dot balls, which have about 75% compression of regular tennis balls. By using lower compression balls, players have a little extra time to react and prepare for each incoming ball. In this class, the focus is on movement to, from and around the ball. The players are technically sound and tactically engaged. They are able to determine their style of play and how it matches with other styles of play. Both singles and doubles strategy is incorporated in this class. At this stage, players are ready to actively participate in regular tournaments.
