LEARN MORE PERSONALIZATION Smaller courts, various-sized racquets, and slower-moving balls allow kids to learn at their own speed, making tennis enjoyable and personalized. SPOTLIGHT ON PLAY We focus on creating a fun, positive, and engaging atmosphere, prioritizing the joy of playing over wins and losses. BUILD LIFELONG SKILLS Tennis isn't just a game; it's a platform for building skills both on and off the court—for a lifetime. Junior Tennis Levels: Red, Orange, Green & Yellow Ball USTA NorCal offers Red, Orange, Green and Yellow ball levels of tennis (often referred to as ROGY) to help youth develop their game properly. Each color ball introduces players to the next level of tennis, progressing from Red to Yellow ball, which is the standard tennis ball and court size. The ROGY system uses low-compression balls, smaller racquets and smaller courts that allow beginner players to be successful right away on the court based on their age, physical size and ability and to develop better technical and point-playing skills. Each stage is designed with your child’s age and skill level in mind, ensuring that every swing is perfectly suited to their unique abilities. The tennis journey starts with Red ball for players of all ages and abilities. CLICK HERE for more about the player competencies. RED BALL Players aged 9-11 years old are recommended to play in Green ball programs. CLICK HERE for more about the player competencies.
