Junior Tennis Pathways
A letter from our Director of Junior Tennis
I would like to take a moment to let you know that Fall 1 Session registration opens August 9th. I would also like to explain some of the exciting changes to the Junior Program. You will notice that many of the program names have changed. We have done this in an effort to streamline our pathway and make it easier for players and parents to understand which class will be the best fit. We still offer programs to players of all ages, abilities, and ambitions. We believe that each individuals path is unique and not set in stone. I know that there may be some confusion at the beginning, but rest assured, that we are here to help answer any questions you may have. Please also see below to find your program and it's new name. 12 and under programs have remained the same. If you have any questions at all, please reach out isaac@fwtec.org
