Where Junior Players Learn, Grow & Compete
Junior instruction at Advantage Tennis Center is built around purposeful development. Players progress through programming based on their skill level, experience and individual development. Our coaches focus on building sound fundamentals, confidence, and a positive relationship with the game.
3 Core Principles
Our goal is to develop players who enjoy competing, understand their own game, and possess the drive to continue improving.
Competition
Competition is treated as an opportunity to learn, problem-solve, and perform under pressure—not simply as a measure of wins and losses.
Self-Assessment
Players learn to evaluate their own performance, recognize patterns, and become active participants in their development.
The Drive
We emphasize effort, intrinsic motivation, and progress over perfection to help players build habits that extend beyond tennis.
Grow Through Every Stage of the Game
The ATC Pathway takes players from their first rally to playing the game with confidence. Each level ends in a badge, and players move up when their skills are ready, not when they reach a certain age.
Pee Wee
First Steps
First StepsOur youngest players build athletic skills, racquet and ball control, and simple rallying games, all while learning to love being on court.
Level 1
Rally Ready
Rally ReadyPlayers learn to rally, serve overhand and keep score. Earning Rally Ready means a player can keep a ball in play and start a point on their own.
Level 2
Competition Ready
Competition ReadyPlayers add spin, depth and direction so they can play full points and sets. Competition Ready means they are ready for real match play.
Level 3
Proven Ready
Proven ReadyPlayers build patterns, composure and match smarts. Level 3 completes the ATC Pathway: a Proven Ready player can play the game confidently with friends, family and teammates.
Level 4 Tournament Training

How Players Move Up
- Levels are based on skill set, not age or ball color.
- 70% competency is our standard for moving up to the next level.
- Coaches rate each skill on a simple scale: 0 Not yet · 1 Learning it · 2 In drills · 3 In a game · 4 Owns it.
Evaluations Every Session
Every player receives an evaluation at the end of each session. Parents choose a written evaluation or a development call with the coach, so you always know where your player stands and what comes next.
Current clinic times, levels and openings are always up to date in the ATC App.
