10 and Under Program: USTA’s "10 and Under Tennis” Program is the USTA’s successful teaching format. Kids 10 and under will learn to play tennis as well as participate in the orange and green ball events. We use the red, orange, and green-dot low-compression balls because they are easier to hit. This allows juniors the ability to get to the ball and develop forehands, backhands, volleys and under hand serves. Using these balls make it easy and fun for them to hit, play, and score from the start, along with developing skills. Ratio is 6-1 student tennis coach
