Clayview Academy
High school varsity players attend on Monday and Wednesday. High school JV, C-team, and middle school players attend on Tuesday and Thursday.
This program is designed for junior athletes who are focused on self-improvement. Academy athletes show a greater drive to improve at the local, high school, regional and national levels of competition.
Training sessions in these clinics include tactical, technical, mental, and physical exercises to help athletes improve every aspect of their game. Low player-per-court ratios accommodate level-based point-play training which is needed for students to achieve self-defined goals. Classes will be divided based on this level-based data and at the coaches' discretion.
Green Grinders
Ages 9-12
Concepts of offense/defense are introduced in singles and doubles. Ball control exercises that promote consistency, direction, depth, and spin will be stressed.
Entry into this program is strictly enforced by the coaching staff at Clayview; junior athletes under 11 years old are required to participate in SMASHERS events in order to advance to Clayview Academy.
Orange Crushers
Ages 7-11
This is the introductory level for junior athletes. By the end of this program, and before advancing to Green Grinders, athletes will play a full tennis match.
The game-based teaching and learning keeps students engaged while learning the fundamentals of tennis. Students will learn how to move effectively to ensure good position and balance for each shot.
Red Rovers
Ages 4-8
This is the introductory level for younger junior athletes. By the end of this program, students should be able to rally with another student.
This program highlights the first steps to mastering proper movement, hand/eye coordination, and hitting technique in order to send balls over the net and into the court. Advancement into Orange Crushers will be recommended at the discretion of the coaching staff.
