JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAMS AT REDFIELD
From their first successful rally to the excitement of competitive match play, BEST at Redfield offers junior tennis training for different stages of development. With five training groups, families can find a program that matches their child's experience, growing abilities, and goals on the court.
A PROGRAM THAT GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD.
Learning tennis is a gradual process. Young players begin by developing coordination, tracking the ball, controlling their racquet, and learning to move around the court. As skills progress, they work on more consistent strokes, better positioning, spin, and the decisions that make tennis an exciting and challenging game. At Redfield, each training group builds on this progression.
Movement & Coordination
Develop balance, agility, footwork, and body control as essential parts of learning tennis.
Technique & Ball Control
Build reliable strokes, improve consistency, and learn to direct the ball with greater purpose.
Confidence & Match Skills
Connect training with point play, decision-making, and competitive situations as players progress.
