Using low-compression orange balls and a 3/4-size court, players continue to develop sound technique while learning to rally consistently, serve, score, and play points with confidence. The modified court and equipment create longer rallies and more success, helping players improve movement, decision-making, and tactical awareness. With a combination of skill development, games, and match play, Orange Ball prepares juniors for the transition to the full court while building confidence and a lifelong enjoyment of tennis.

Step 2: Find Your Class & Book
Important Info: Fall season has 2 sessions instead of 1
To better meet the needs of our families, we have divided the fall into two shorter sessions rather than one 13–14-week program.
This approach provides greater flexibility for families whose schedules change throughout the fall due to school, other sports, or family commitments. Having two sessions also provides new players with an additional opportunity to join during the season, rather than having to wait several months for the next program to begin.
Families who wish to participate for the entire fall season should register for both Session 1 and Session 2. If you prefer a shorter commitment or have scheduling conflicts, you are also welcome to register for Session 1 only or Session 2 only. This flexible format allows families to choose the option that best fits their schedule while still providing a complete and progressive tennis experience.
