CVTA Programs
CVTA continues to offer the USTA National Junior Tennis League instructional program to juniors that includes the USTA's beginner program called QuickStart Tennis. On Mondays the beginner program is available to participants from ages 7-10. A smaller court size and smaller racket, plus a lowered net and low compression ball, will allow a quick start to success on the court. A modified scoring system of seven points also allows a quick progression to game play during the first lesson. The Wednesday next-step beginner class is designed for ages 11-18. Intermediate and advanced juniors who play school or USTA sanctioned tournaments will be offered instruction on Tuesdays and Thursdays while Wednesdays are reserved for adult classes.
In 2008 CVTA introduced an exciting new year-round program on Thursdays called Junior Development as a training program for USTA tournament participants. The two-hour program involves 20-minute match play for students from the Tuesday night class and USTA adult league players. The cost is only a can of new balls. If juniors have a conflict on Tuesday nights for the intermediate/advance class, the cost is the regular class registration. Just download the registration form to register!
In addition to five six-weeks instructional sessions, CVTA also offers two summer day camps in June and July.
