Seasoned tennis players understand the dynamics and the requirements to succeed at this game: focus, agility, speedy reaction time, discipline, concentration, anticipation of opponents’ movements and attitude.

These are all worthwhile traits to develop in young lives. That is why we at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club hold tennis programs designed specifically for children players.

The Fall 2015 Junior Tennis Academy is underway with several regular schedules:

• Pee Wee Tennis: 3:45 p.m., Monday and Wednesday.
• 10&Under Progressions: 4:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
• Advanced Junior Training: 4:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our skilled and certified tennis professionals will give your children the highest level of training and care with a focus on taking their skills to the next level.

Continuing with last year’s TenFit program, we will help train the children to connect off-court and on-court activities. This unique style of tennis coaching helps children understand how to move on a tennis court while blending the style of boxing footwork and plyometrics. This is a form of jump training where muscles are exerted at maximum levels for short intervals. TenFit also helps make tennis fun and builds teamwork.

This type of cross training has been shown to bring the greatest benefits and improvements in game skills.
