(USTA NTRP 1.0, 1.5, & 2.0)

Players under 2.5 under USTA NTRP can sign up for supervised play under our tennis professional, Alex Dority. Supervised play will allow lower-ranked players to build their understanding of the game and feed into higher-level leagues with confidence.

Terms & Policies

1. Leagues canceled due to inclement weather will be prorated or used as in-store credit.
2. We require payment before the beginning of assigned league
3. Facility staff is NOT responsible for finding a substitute unless notified within 24 hours
4. Payments are non-refundable
5. No credits or deductions will be made for late arrivals or early departures.
6. (new balls received every other week) New balls used in the previous week league will be repressurized using our PressureRefresure) Why repressurize?- Allowing us to repressurize balls reduces the number of tennis balls that ends up in landfills. While this does extend the life of a ball, felt plays a significant role in the flight of a tennis ball, so we aim to limit the number of times we use a repressurized tennis ball.

Our Junior Progression Pathway to Success

Lower rims, smaller fields, and shorter bats are just a few examples of sports adapting to our children's age and ability to compete; tennis is no different. Shorter racquets, lower bouncing balls, and scaled-down tennis courts allow players to progress with success. Determining the right ball for your player's age and ability will promote longer rallies, more consistency, and an overall more enjoyable experience. We offer 11 classes between the ages of 4 and 18, ranging from beginner-advanced in each age category. We use three stages of junior progression here at Sherwood Tennis Center. To learn more about our pathway to success, information on each step of the ball type, or interest in signing up your child, don't hesitate to contact us directly using any options available to you in the Contact Us section.

Red Tennis Balls: Slightly more significant than the standard ball and 75% slower. They are designed for 36' courts and children eight years of age or under.

Orange Tennis Balls: The same size as the standard tennis ball with a 50% reduction in pace, the orange ball is designed for 60' courts and children between 8 and 10.

Green Dot Tennis Balls: The same size as the standard tennis ball with a 25% reduction in pace, the green balls are designed for a full-length tennis court (78') and children 12 years of age or younger.

General performance components, minimum instructional hours, competitive match play, and overall comprehension of their assigned level will determine if they are ready for the next stage.

Junior League

Many players have what it takes to compete; however, most need more time or funds to travel and compete regularly. Sherwood Tennis Center provides supervised junior league play under our USTA Certified Official and USPTA Certified Professional, Alex Dority. They are giving players more opportunities to play. Players can sign weekly and compete against players at their age and skill level. Each session ranges from $10-$15/per player. They will compete during their allotted time. Keeping track of their score, receiving on-court coaching, and gaining match-play experience will ensure each player is more than ready when signing up for USTA-sanctioned tournaments.
