What is Fireballs?
Fireballs is our junior tennis program for both members and non-members. Practice includes work-outs, clinics, spin-arounds (court games and contests), and weekly scrimmages or Interclub matches. Coach selections are based on three important criteria: tennis experience, coaching ability, and enthusiasm for the game. Each coach's unique skills, background, and personality add up to a positive experience for the players. Student to coach ratio is five to one.

Goals for Fireballs

Fireballs helps juniors ages 8 to 14 develop their tennis skills in a sociable and supportive group environment. Our classes are designed to:

  • stimulate a lifelong enthusiasm for tennis as both an individual and team sport
  • encourage communication between coaches, players, and parents by providing regular progress reports to each player
  • actively promote safety and good sportsmanship

Seasons
Winter: mid-January to end of March. Spring: March to end of May. Fall: end of August to early December
