What is Fireballs?
Fireballs is Foothills' junior tennis program led by the Junior Tennis Director. Practice includes work-outs, clinics,spin-arounds (court games and contests directed by the Junior Coach),and weekly scrimmages or Interclub matches. Our coaches were selectedbased on three important criteria: tennis experience, coaching ability,and enthusiasm for the game. Each coach brings unique skills,background, and personality to help create an atmosphere that makes fora positive experience for everyone.
