QuickStart Tennis Program

Our clubs are proud to offer the QuickStart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

All Star Academy

Promotion from QuickStart or pro approval from evaluation is required. Players continue to develop fundamentals using transition balls. Emphasis is on shot consistency and control. All Star Academy lessons are for players between the ages of 7 and 10.

Green Dot Academy

Promotion from All Star Academy or pro approval from evaluation is required. Introduction to more live ball drills, point of play and more advanced rally skills. Playing strategy will be implemented on a full-size court. Green Dot lessons are for players between the ages of 8 and 11.

Junior Tennis Beginner

Introduces and practices the tennis basics including volleys, forehand and backhand ground strokes, serves, match play, sportsmanship and footwork for ages 11-15. Students need to bring a tennis racquet to class. This is a great class for those picking up tennis a bit later in life.

Junior Tennis Academy

Promotion from Green Ball Academy or pro approval from evaluation required. This class is suitable for qualified beginners. Students will be leveled within the class. Focus of instruction is on skill set improvement and application to competitive play for ages 10 and up.

High School Drill & Match Play

We offer classes for high school junior varsity and varsity and level players. Membership is required.

High Performance

Our clubs are proud to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy Program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition. For more information or to schedule an evaluation contact Russ Hadziabdic at 847.414.4103.
