Equipment

Kids 12+ High School JV/Varsity will be required to use racket size 25-27 inches. 3/4 size to full court.
Tennis Balls Used
Kids need a ball that is sized and paced to their playing abilities.
A regulation tennis ball moves too fast, bounces too high and is too heavy for their smaller racket. Each age group, therefore, uses a ball better suited to its size and unique playing ability.
For 6-8-and-under, a foam ball or a very low-compression ball moves slower, bounces lower and travels less distance.
For 9-11-and-under, a low compression ball moves a little faster and travels farther than the ball used with the younger group, however, it still has a lower bounce than the original.
Kids JV and Varsity low compression ball along with the standard issued balls will be used.
Proper Court Attire is Required - Parents please send your kids with non marking tennis shoes (no skater or vans allowed). They must were shorts or sweat pants that are loose and that have pockets to put tennis balls in. Absolutely no JEANS or Khakis allowed on the court.
