Class description 
Click on the images for larger view! If a student has attended Mini Star 1 in the past but taken a month or two or longer break, they must start at Mini Star 1 first.
Mini Star 2 class is designed for players who have graduated from Mini Star 1 and taken 3 month consecutive classes and have been evaluated to move to the next level.
They will now learn how to gradually transition into tie breaker scoring match play with regular serves. A student must take 3 month consecutive classes in order
to be evaluated to go to the next level. Every student grows at their own pace, but the number of
classes taken per week is what boosts their skill level. Practising more than once a week is key.
The coach evaluates each student and let's them know if and when they are ready to move.
If a student takes a few months off they may become rusty and may have to start at a lower level to review important basic skills and memorization.
The key at this level is rallying skills, how to control the ball and keep it in play, using basic tennis form. Serve and match play with big sponge balls is introduced.
A lot of hand/eye/footwork coordination drills and skills will be continued. COSTImportant,Please note: Personal absences, and classes that fall under federal holidays will not be refunded, credited or madeup, whether

DESCRIPTIONThis class will start learning to rally back and forth and work on building consistency, using soft
high quality foam balls called "Spinners" in a mini tennis court situation. Proper grips, correct stepping, movement, balance, footwork,
and hand-eye-feet coordination and basic techniques for forehand, backhand, and volleys are reemphasized using regular tennis balls.
Scoop It Up balls are also used occasionally for fun group games to instill confidence and boost skills in a casual fun
environment. Serves are introduced. They are now able to play mini tennis games with a tie breaker scoring with serves.
When they are ready, they will be move to Future Star 2.
Students who have taken 3 month consecutive lessons with tennisbuddys will be evaluated to see if they are ready to move to the next level. The instructor always emphasizes that a student's biggest reward is their progress (no matter how small or big). To just be outdoors and active and build good hand eye coordination with a sport like tennis is a health benefit in and of itself. Important factor is that always choose a program and an instructor that a child really enjoys no matter what sport you pick, then they will more likely be able to choose a sport and grow to love it. |
