Fireballs Jr. Tennis Program

Fun is the name of the game when it comes to our approach to introducing youth players to tennis.

Our Jr. Tennis 'Fireballs' program has a practical color coded hierarchy to match the level of players with the style of instruction. There are many benefits to children engaging in a sport such as tennis. Not only does it provide life long fun but it allows for a very health way to exercise, making life-long friends, sneaks in life learning skills, helps kids step outside of their comfort zone, and once engaged can be an extremely good conduit for family bonding. We believe strongly in these benefits of tennis at Foothills and the smiles on our junior players faces speak for themselves. Please check out the different groups below to be better informed as to which might best fit your child.
