The junior program at BridgeMill is designed to meet the needs of all our junior players starting at age 5, recreational to advanced tournament players. The goal of the program is to instill a love for the game of tennis in our youth. We encourage and foster a healthy, active lifestyle that players carry with them throughout their lives. Our program is divided into categories based on ability and age. All programs focus on proper stroke development, footwork, fitness, strategy and mental toughness at an age and level appropriate manner. Contact the Tennis Shop for class schedule updates, available space and to sign up.

EXCEL FUTURE STARS DEVELOPMENT GROUPS

5-6 years – This group is for our youngest juniors with little or no tennis experience. Our goal in the program is to help children learn and enjoy the game of tennis while improving their overall athletic skills. We focus on basic motor skills like throwing, catching, running, jumping and learn fundamental racket skills.

7-10 years – This group is for juniors with little or no tennis experience. We focus on developing athletic skills, stroke fundamentals and learning how to play points and keep score.

11-16 years – This group is for players with little or no experience. Players will be taught every shot, how to keep score, how to play a match. This group is great for those aspiring to play on their high school teams and know what they are doing.

EXCEL ACADEMY The Academy group is for intermediate to advanced players, ages 10 & up, who are committed to improving their game. This high energy group of players is striving to play tournaments, high school tennis or working to get a college scholarship. The Head Coach of the academy is Jennifer Pourchier who is also the Head Coach for the Reinhardt University tennis teams. One unique benefit of this is that Academy players often get to hit and train with the college players! Players are divided by ability level and age. Drills focus on proper stroke technique, footwork, fitness, strategy, and mental toughness. The group meets Monday and/or Wednesday from 5:00-7:00 pm. This program runs throughout the school year.
