Junior Tennis Academy

PV Tennis Academy offers a year-round tennis program for children aged 4 and up. Our coaching philosophy focuses on building fundamental skills that help players develop a well-rounded game.

​

Following the USTA curriculum and progression pathway, we use lighter balls, smaller rackets, and appropriately sized courts to accelerate skill development, boost confidence, and ensure children enjoy the learning process.

 

We offer both group and private lessons, open to both club members and non-members.

Junior Team Tennis
 
USTA Junior Team Tennis, or JTT, brings together boys and girls, ages 7-18, to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles against other coed teams. JTT is also a great introduction to competitive tennis

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.
