Junior Program Fundamental
The AFTC FUNdamental programs are designed for junior ages 4-16. It is the perfect program for players to learn the basics of tennis – serve, rally and score to be able to play a sport for life. As a player progresses from one stage to another, more advanced techniques and ball control skills are introduced.
PLEASE NOTE:
Classes will only run with a minimum of 4 participants. If you have registered for a class and there are less than 4 participants you will be offered the opportunity to move to another day and or time. After registration the AFTC will do their best to advertise days and times of classes not filled to try and fill the class to ensure it runs.
JUNIOR TENNIS PATHWAY
Unlike most sports kids will spend more than one session at a level. Please refer to the pathway chart below showing the ages and levels.
Coaches will make a recommendation if player in a Red, Orange or Green Ball fundamentals program demonstrates skills, interest and coachable qualities to train 2 times a week in the academy programs. Theses subsidized programs are designated to give kids an opportunity to further develop their skills in a fun, competitive environment.

PARENTS CAN DO IT AS WELL!
Instead of sitting and having a coffee, why not show your kids that you can also learn to play tennis. We design our programs to allow parents to participate in their own program while the kids have their lesson. We offer a Cardio tennis class for starter to intermediate players, and a Tennis Xpress class for starter players. See our program descriptions in the adult program guide.
You do not have to have any tennis experiences to participate in either of the above classes.
The following are the days and times we run junior and adult classes at the same time. We provide all the necessary equipment for both kids and adults.
