12 & UNDER
Children have a window of opportunity to develop specific athletic skill sets such as hand-eye coordination, agility, balance, spatial awareness, speed, and movement. It’s also the best time to get children involved in a fun and active lifestyle, which is exactly what Giammalva Racquet Club’s tennis lessons for kids are meant for!
The number one reason kids want to play a sport is to have fun. Our emphasis is on a combination of both playing tennis while also having fun! We do this by keeping kids active and involved through a variety of games and activities. Kids will enjoy playing tennis while also learning physical skills, sportsmanship, social skills and healthy lifestyle advice. We believe kids should play to learn, rather than learn to play. This focus is what drives our 12 and under programs and provides an enriched learning environment.
ORANGE & GREEN BALL | AGES 9 -12
Orange Ball: Designed for kids between 8-10 years old, who have progressed beyond the Red Ball stage. This format uses lower-compression orange balls that bounce higher than red balls but are still easier to hit than standard tennis balls. The focus is on enhancing technique, rallying skills, and tactical understanding. This group provides a smooth transition for young players, helping them build confidence and competence as they develop their game.
Green Ball: This group is geared towards kids aged 10 years old and up, who are ready to transition from Orange Ball stage. This format uses slightly lower-compression green balls, which are closer in bounce and speed to standar tennis balls but still a bit easier to control. The focus is on refining technique, improving consistency, and developing more advanced strategies. This group helps players bridge the gap to standard tennis, preparing them for competitive play while continuing to build their skills and confidence.
