August 29-October 10                                             • Prospect Park Tennis Courts
The Clarendon Hills Park District is excited to partner with Matt Burghgraef and his staff to provide fall tennis programs. The
tennis program utilizes the United States Tennis Association “Quick Start Tennis”. The principle of Quick Start is to get children
playing quickly and appropriately through the use of modified equipment, making the court and equipment smaller, ball slower
and considering the needs and development stages of children at different ages. Every child, regardless of age deserves the best
possible instruction, to maximize their potential to play.

What to Bring to Class:.........Tennis racquet, water bottle
What to Wear:..........................Tennis Shoes (no sandals or slip-ons)
Min/Max:...................................5/12

RED BALL­: MIGHTY MITES (4-5 years) (6-7 years)
The focus is on development of skills necessary to play tennis, such as movement patterns, hand-eye coordination and tracking
as well as basic tennis skills progressing to learning rally and basic techniques. These skills are taught through a variety of fun
individual or team tennis games. Red balls on 36’ court

ORANGE BALL: LITTLE ACES (8-9 years)
Players are introduced to all shots and continue work on basic stroke development, footwork and rallying while incorporating match
tactics. Orange balls on 60’ court

GREEN BALL: BIG ACES (9-11 years)
Basic strokes, racquet skills and sending and receiving skills will be taught as well as footwork, position on court, scoring and match
tactics. High Performance Green Ball needs coaches approval to register. Green balls on 90’ court

ADULT BEGINNER
This class is for the player with little or no experience. We will focus on learning basic strokes with correct form and etiquette.
Structure of class will mostly consist of feeding drills to allow players to hit a lot of balls to improve strokes therefore it is an hour of
great cardio work. Instructor reserves right to move students dependent on skill level.

ADULT INTERMEDIATE (USTA 3.0-3.4 & below) and
ADVANCED (USTA 3.5 & above)
Players who have some experience and those looking to fine tune their game will advance their skills through stroke development,
footwork and tactical drills. Live point drills and games will be included to provide an energetic and fun experience. These two drills
are combined and will run as one drill. Instructor reserves right to move students dependent on skill level.

ADULT CARDIO TENNIS
Cardio tennis is an exercise class with an emphasis on tennis. The class focuses less on stroke development and more on
cardiovascular exercise. If you’re looking for a fun way to burn calories this class is for you! Cardio tennis is very fast moving and
sometimes uses low compression orange tennis balls for safety and to equalize skill levels. No tennis experience required.
