Are you or a friend/family member looking to learn tennis?

Throughout San Diego there are several "orange" and "green dot" adult beginner clinics!

Orange ball is designed specifically for those new to the game, offering an easy and enjoyable way to learn tennis fundamentals. The lower-compression orange balls are slower and bounce lower, giving you more time to react, helping build your skills with confidence.

What to expect for Orange Ball classes:

Beginner-Friendly: With the use of orange balls, we'll guide you through the basics, making it easier to hit and rally while learning proper technique.
Hands-On Coaching: Our experienced instructors will walk you through each step, ensuring you’re comfortable and progressing at your own pace.
Full Engagement: No previous experience is necessary! From the first lesson, you’ll be actively playing and improving your game.
Build Confidence: The slower ball speed allows you more time to develop your strokes, footwork, and positioning.
Supportive Atmosphere: You'll learn alongside fellow beginners in a fun, encouraging environment, making it easier to enjoy the game and stay motivated.

Green ball is perfect for those who have a basic understanding of tennis or have completed an orange ball program and are ready for a slightly faster game. The green balls have a bit more bounce but still offer a controlled, beginner-friendly pace to help you continue improving.

What to expect for Green Ball classes:

Progressive Learning: With green balls, you'll experience a game closer to standard tennis, but with a slightly lower bounce, giving you time to develop more control and precision.
Skill Development: Our professional coaches will help you enhance your strokes, footwork, and consistency as you move towards a full-court experience.
Active Play: You’ll engage in more dynamic rallies and point play, while still focusing on technique and strategy to build your confidence.
Supportive Environment: Learn alongside peers in a friendly, encouraging atmosphere where you can comfortably grow your skills and enjoy the game.
Full-Court Experience: As you progress with green balls, you’ll be introduced to more advanced drills and exercises designed to prepare you for playing with standard yellow balls.
