Junior Team Tennis 2011
June 27th–August 19th, 2011
The Junior Tennis Program will run for EIGHT weeks again this summer on our four private courts at the Fisher Family Tennis Center. We are proud to have Steve Queenan back as our head tennis professional. Steve is a former collegiate player and a current 4.5 USTA player. He has been a high school coach for over 10 years and led Westborough High to the state finals in 2000 and 2001. He is a certified USTA instructor and has participated in their Advanced Coaches Clinics, most recently in the “quick start” clinic for children under age 10. As a former camper and tennis participant, Steve has in-depth knowledge of the Colony Club tennis program. In fact, he was the first ever Tiny Gregg Tournament winner!
The Junior Tennis program offers these programs for all ages and skill levels (Click here to check the SBCC Junior Tennis web site for practice schedules, match schedules and fees. Daily guest fees are available):
* Team Tennis for ages 9 to 16 years, or younger, at the Pro's discretion (for players who can serve from the baseline and return serve). Includes intra-club practice two days per week and weekly match play against other nearby clubs. The team is split into three two groups, the “A Team” and the “B Team”, based on ability at the Pro’s discretion, and the “Tournament Tennis” of high school aged players designed to prepare the most advanced and older junior team players who wish to play local, full match-play tournaments during the summer months, in addition to team tennis. Weekly matches are typically played on Friday afternoons at 1pm.
