Join us for indoor tennis this Winter with JXS Tennis Academy. All players need to bring their own racket and bottle of water. Please bring a clean, dry pair of sneakers for the gym. If it is raining or snowy outside this may mean bringing a separate pair of sneakers to change into.
Because of the scheduling of classes and limited time availability, make-ups are not offered for this program if you need to miss a class.
What do the ball colors mean?
Red Ball: 19/21-inch rackets are used with red felt balls. This means children can control the ball and racket, develop proper swing technique and get a real sense of playing the game.
Orange Ball: 21/23-inch rackets are used with an orange ball that is lower compression that travels a little faster and farther than the red ball. Players are taught proper technique for all strokes-focusing on ground stroke development, net play and serving. Footwork and beginning level of basic strategy – how to keep score and rally.
Green Ball: 25/27 inch rackets are used. The green ball has less pressure than the standard yellow ball (75% pressure) and easier to hit. This stage is for players that can rally, volley and beginning to understand strategy and tactics.
Yellow Ball: Is designed for high school and adult competitive players. Designed for players that have the ability and strength to use a standard size tennis ball.
