12-and-Under Programs

Weymouth Club is recognized as one of the best junior-tennis facilities in New England. We are a former USTA Regional Training Center and the 2015 Professional Tennis Registry Facility of the Year.

From toddlers to teens, young players learn, compete and develop their love of the game at Weymouth Club. We have a proud record of success, with many of our players ranked in New England and nationally.

Players are placed into programs based on age, ability, maturity and experience.

Children build skills and knowledge while advancing from Tots Tennis through the Red, Orange and Green programs. Our curriculum uses compression balls, racquets and courts sizes that correspond to players’ size and capability.

Tots Tennis (ages 3-4)

In our intro class for toddlers, students learn basic skills that they can carry into more advanced instruction. The emphasis is on fun and movement! Racquets are supplied. Children should wear sneakers and comfortable clothing, and we recommend a water bottle.

Court size: 36’ Racquet size: 17–21”

Red, Orange & Green Ball

In the R.O.G. system, players progress through levels using equipment and court sizes that correspond to their size and capability. Red, orange and green tennis balls vary in compression, size and speed from yellow balls. The result is a more positive, less frustrating tennis experience that keeps players motivated, rallying and having fun with tennis!

Red Ball, Orange Ball and Green Ball programs include weekly match play.

The age ranges below are approximate – any child can learn tennis at any age!

Red 2 (ages 7–8)
Players start to learn technical awareness and court tactics. Players at this level can begin matches.

Court size: 36’ Racquet Size: 21-23”

Orange Ball (Ages 8-10)

Players develop more consistency in their strokes and learn to cope with the larger playing area by covering the court and directing the ball away from the opponent. With their added physical control and coordination, players can work on more specific technique.

At this stage, players expand their knowledge of point construction, court knowledge, tactics, ball movement and various spins. Their serving and return of serve become more advanced. Players in this class should be striving to participate in USTA tournaments.

Court Size 60’ Racquet Size: 25-26”

Green Ball (ages 10–12)

Players prepare for the physical demands of covering a full-size court. The focus is on increased tactical development, including use of angles, spin, depth, moving the opponent, attacking, defending and assessing an opponent’s strengths and weaknesses.
