Our junior program at BridgeMill is designed to meet the needs of all our junior players from age 5 and up; from recreational to advanced tournament players.
The goal of our program is to instill a love for the game of tennis in our youth. We develop self-motivated young people who want to practice and then practice some more. We encourage and foster a healthy, active lifestyle that players carry with them throughout their lives. All of our teaching professionals have a passion for the game of tennis and are here to ignite this passion in your child! Our staff recognizes that the true gift of those labeled as “gifted” is not necessarily their talent but their love of whatever it is they do.
We have a complete program that is divided into different categories based on ability and age. All programs focus on proper stroke development, footwork, fitness, strategy and mental toughness in an age and level appropriate manner.
