Future Stars Summer Program
We are pleased to offer our youngest players, aged 4 to 7 years old, an opportunity to join 3 times a week for action packed 45-minute USTA Net Generation Pre Rally and Rally red ball lessons with STC Jr. Program coaches beginning July 5th through August 11th.
Participants can register for 2-week consecutive blocks of 6 lesson total (or join for multiple 2-week blocks in the 6-week program).
Our program is the USTA-based kid-friendly approach to tennis that hopes to inspire the next generation of young tennis players. Net Generation is a celebration of a game where no one sits on the sidelines. The mission is to spread the love of tennis to a new generation!
Our daily activities will include a greeting, warm up, skill development, games, character development and a play at home challenge. We will use modified equipment to promote early success, it is a challenge and skills program that helps develop a passion for tennis and builds the foundation for future success.
We have seen amazing results of this program, which has empowered our youngest STC Juniors to embrace and grow their passion for tennis through this fun inspired pre rally and rally ball tennis at the Future Stars level, where players can then continue to improve their skills during STC Jr Program summers and later through HS Varsity Tennis and possibly on throughout the college experience, taking the love that is generated at this grassroots level with them, setting the stage for a lifetime of tennis!
