FUNdamentals

The FUNdamentals ROG (red, orange, green ball) program at SC Tennis Academy is the ideal starting point for young players looking to build a strong foundation in tennis – while having fun! Designed for students ages 7 to 13, this game-based program welcomes both beginners to pre-tournament level players. Each one and half hour class begins with 10 minutes of “tennis fitness” to build coordination, agility, and endurance. Players then focus on groundstroke development, serving technique, and net play. To maintain high engagement, every drill is followed by a related game, keeping students focused, active, and motivated throughout the session. We also focus on rallying with consistency and keeping score-counting. Our Red, Orange, and Green Ball structure ensures players are matched appropriately by age and skill. Beginners work on skill acquisition through more structured drilling, while advanced beginners engage in more rallying and competitive play. Players showing top potential graduate into our High-Performance program at El Dorado Park Tennis Center each month. Led by experienced and encouraging coaches, FUNdamentals ROG program creates a positive and productive environment where students learn technique, strategy, sportsmanship, teamwork, and a lasting love for the game.
