HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS 2026/27

 

LITTLE ACES

Age Group: 5 – 8, Red Ball

Minimum Requirement: 3 days/week

 

Little Aces is where it all begins. Your child will develop their first footwork habits and ball control skills through fun, structured play designed specifically for their age. Basic tactical concepts are introduced in a way that makes sense to young players — building confidence with every session. Just as important as the tennis is the mindset we nurture: a genuine love for the sport and a positive, appreciative attitude that will serve them well beyond the court.

 

SESSIONS OFFERED

  • Monday / Wednesday / Friday: 4:00 – 5:30pm

 

BENEFITS

  • TTC Junior Membership included
  • ACE clothing
  • Half-day holiday camp included
  • Access to discounted private lesson times

 

FUTURES TEAM

Age Group: 7 – 9, Orange Ball

Minimum Requirement: 3 days/week

 

As players move to a larger court, the game opens up — and so do the demands. Futures players develop more precise footwork and a broader range of ball control skills, learning to make purposeful decisions within their first tactical patterns. Where the ball goes, and why, becomes as important as how it is hit. Your child will be encouraged to bring full effort and real intensity to both training and competition — building the habits that carry them forward.

New players are accepted based on Academy Director approval.

Bubble up/down weeks are not included in program fee. Players may register during bubble weeks at an additional cost.

CHAMPIONS TEAM

Age Group: 7 – 10, Green Ball

Minimum Commitment: 3 days/week

 

The Champions Team program builds on the fundamentals your child has already developed, raising the standard across every part of their game. Technically sound footwork across all situations becomes the foundation, supported by a solid understanding of the fundamental skills needed to handle core tactical situations. Your child will learn to use the forehand as a primary weapon, understand when to attack and when to defend, and experience serve and net play as regular parts of every session. A deep and lasting appreciation for the sport grows naturally at this stage — through challenge, improvement, and the reward of seeing it all come together. This is a full-year program for green dot players progressing from the Futures Team.

New players are accepted based on Academy Director approval.

Bubble up/down weeks are not included in program fee. Players may register during bubble weeks at an additional cost.
