Junior Programs

A red line drawn across the top of the image.

At Maywood Racquets Club, we believe great tennis players are built through great habits — and that the most valuable thing we can give a young player is a structured, patient, and genuinely enjoyable environment to develop them.

Our junior program is both a development pathway and a community. Players build technical skills and tactical awareness alongside confidence, resilience, and friendships that often last well beyond the court. Our coaches know names, not just rankings — and every player, from the youngest beginner to our most competitive juniors, is treated as a whole person, not just a work in progress.

The pathway follows ten progressive levels built on the principles of Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) and the ITF Play+Stay framework. Each level has a clear purpose, defined learning outcomes, and a proficiency-based progression process — so every student advances when they're ready, not simply when a session ends.

HOW PLACEMENT WORKS

Every new student is placed through a brief assessment process before their first session. Here's what to expect:

  • • Players aged 8 and older receive a complimentary on-court placement evaluation conducted by one of our lead coaches. The session takes approximately 10 minutes and covers movement, ball-striking, rally ability, and competitive readiness.

  • • Players under 8 without prior playing experience do not require an evaluation. They will be placed in our red ball program.

  • • Following the evaluation, we confirm your child's recommended level.

  • • All online enrollments are subject to coach approval. If a placed student needs an adjustment after their first class, we'll reach out directly.

  • • To book a placement evaluation, email juniorclinics@maywoodracquetsclub.com or call (201) 843-2022.

HOW PROGRESSION WORKS

Every student advances based on demonstrated skill, not age alone. Our coaches evaluate each player at the end of every session using defined proficiency benchmarks to determine readiness for the next level.

For Red Ball players, this includes a structured proficiency assessment before advancement. From Orange Ball onward, progression is based on ongoing coach evaluation and session-end review.

When your child is ready to move up, we'll tell you — and we'll tell you exactly why.
