Junior Tennis Academy
PVTC’s Junior Tennis Academy offers a year-round program for children ages 4 and up, designed to build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of the game.
Our coaching philosophy emphasizes developing strong fundamentals and well-rounded players. Following the USTA curriculum and progression pathway, we use age-appropriate equipment — including lighter balls, smaller racquets, and right-sized courts — to accelerate learning and make every session fun and engaging.
We offer both group and private lessons, open to both members and non-members. Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time or aiming to compete at a higher level, our dedicated coaching team is here to help them grow on and off the court.

When Should I Start Playing in USTA Junior Tournaments?
After players have achieved success in USTA Junior Circuit events, they may want to explore USTA Junior Tournaments. We strongly recommend beginning at Level 7 tournaments, an intermediate level competitive tournament that guarantees multiple matches in a short period of time.
