Red Ball Ages 4-6
Played sideways across the court, from doubles sideline to doubles sideline. An oversize, high-density ball is used which is easier to visually track, receive, and control, since it moves slower and bounces lower. Players use 19-21 inch rackets (depending on player size) which gives better racket control. This modified equipment will help develop good biomechanics.

Orange Ball Ages 7-10
Allows young players to play on a 60’ court with the same rules as those used on a regulation court. Playing the “real” game will promote the development of FUNdamentals required in game situations. For 7-9 year-old, the ratio of length to width is basically the same as a full sized court is to an adult. As the court and equipment dimensions are scaled down, young players are able to develop an all-court game style. The 60’ court uses low-compression balls that facilitate this tactical development. The balls are easier to control and don’t bounce as high as a regular ball, which provides players an optimal strike zone. On these courts player use a 23-25 inch racket (depending on player size) which gives better racket control. The modified equipment also assists with the development of proper technique.

Green Ball Ages 8-10
Player will move to play on full size tennis court with a ball with a bounce of 75% of a yellow ball. The green dot ball provides a more lovely bounce than an orange dot ball but not as much bounce as the yellow ball. This allows for continued development of proper technique. Tactically the player should start to understand and make a high percentage of shots from different areas of the court, as well as develop as an independent thinker

Yellow Ball Ages 11-15
From Beginner to Intermediate

Player will be on full size tennis court with a yellow ball. We will continue to development proper technique in all groups. Tactically as the player progresses, the player should start to understand and make a high percentage of shots from different areas of the court, as well as develop as an independent thinker. 

High Performance Coaching Program Invitation

Philosophy:  We believe in gaining skills and knowledge.  Athletes first, winning second.  Braemar believes in the Cooperative Style of Coaching. The Cooperative Style of Coaching consists of shared interaction and decision-making between the coach and players consistent with growth and the development level of the athletes.

This style of coaching recognizes the importance and responsibility of providing leadership to the player, but also encourages athletes to give input on decision-making.
