Junior Development
We have seen firsthand how early tennis training shapes more than just athletic ability. Our junior development program at Village Glen focuses on physical fitness, motor skills, and discipline from the first session.
Beyond the court, players build decision-making skills, teamwork, and time management habits that carry into school and everyday life. Our coaches focus on a strong technical foundation early, so every player has room to grow into more advanced levels later.
Junior Development Programs
ROGace
ROGace is a specialized and innovative tennis training program designed specifically for children under 12 years old. The program emphasizes teaching various tennis strokes and strategies right from the beginning stages of learning the game. This approach is a comprehensive and proactive way of introducing young children to the sport of tennis, aiming to develop their skills and understanding of the game early on.
Tennis For Life (Club)
We designed the Tennis For Life Pathway to give every junior player at Village Glen a clear, long-term path forward. It covers five key areas Technical, Tactical, Mental, Social, and Athletic, so players grow as complete athletes, not just stronger hitters.
3 Levels
- Club Green – Beginner to intermediate players starting at age 12, focused on live-game scenarios
- Club JV Yellow – Intermediate players aged 13–17, building positioning skills and tournament readiness
- Club Varsity Yellow – Intermediate to advanced players aged 13–17, preparing for tournaments, team matches, and interscholastic competition
Tennis Academy
For players ready to compete at a higher level, our Academy Pathway takes them from Green through Platinum levels with a sharper focus on technical refinement and tournament readiness.
We always advise families considering the Academy track that this program is built for players preparing for college tennis, not just casual improvement. Each session addresses Technical, Tactical, Mental, Social, and Athletic development. Director approval is required to join the Academy Pathway.
