| Junior Program #1: Junior USTA League Tennis (ages 10-14, co-ed teams, beginner and intermediate players) | ||
| Description: | The Lake Norman Tennis Association in conjunction with the USTA has structured a program to get and keep beginning and intermediate level kids interested in tennis. The Junior Tennis program involves a beginner level league (Red Division) and an intermediate level league (Blue Division). This program involves coaching/practice 1-2 times a week (to be determined by your team) as well as one match on Sunday afternoons for approximately 6 weeks beginning in March. | |
| Who can play: | The teams can be co-ed and will consist of 4-6 players ages 10-14. | |
| Where matches are played: | Teams will play one doubles match and one singles match every Sunday afternoon. Therefore, each team will need access to two “home” courts for each Sunday match that they host. | |
| Cost: | $21 per child (plus, you must be a USTA member or simply join the USTA for approximately $18 per year). | |
| Start date: | Early March, 2008 | |
| Junior Program #2: Compass Draw Singles (ages 14-16, advanced players, separate divisions for boys and girls) | ||
| Description: | This is a singles league where players play one match every Sunday afternoon but also have until Thursday to make up the match (in case of bad weather or scheduling conflict). The Compass Draw format ensures players of similar skill levels meet each other in the draw. | |
| Who can play: | Advanced level boys and girls ages 14-16. Ideally these players would have tournament experience or play on a high school team, etc. USTA membership is NOT required. | |
| Where matches are played: | Matches are played on the "home" players home court. | |
| Cost: | $20 per child (USTA membership is not required). | |
