Junior Program Descriptions

All new students to Pass Academy, ages 7 and older, must schedule a try-out with our professional staff.

September – June

A great way to start kids off to a lifetime of fun. Classes will stress motor skills, coordination, fun and movement.

The focus is on player development, using a modified ball and specific techniques in learning the game of tennis.

At the Beginner/Intermediate level, the program’s goals are to teach boys and girls ages 11-14 basic tennis skills and strategies in a fun, encouraging and enthusiastic environment. Emphasis is placed on developing tennis skills, along with confidence and a positive attitude.

This is an intensive program for Intermediate and Advanced boys and girls ages 9-14.  The training is devoted to instructional sessions on court, physical conditioning to develop strength and speed, extensive drilling to sharpen all strokes, and competitive play.

Our Young Tournament Players are highly competitive juniors ages 11-14 who are currently ranked in the top 75 (in BG12s and BG14s) and top 10 (in BG10s) in USTA/MAS sectional rankings.  Classes will emphasize drills, match play, mental training and physical fitness.  The goal of this program is to take already competitive juniors and fine-tune their playing skills.  This is a year-round program and requires a 2-3 day a week commitment.

Our High School Varsity Players  program consists of players who are currently on their High School Varsity team (or those trying out), along with Sectional tournament players.  The emphasis is on match play, consistency, and strategy with structured drills to enhance footwork and conditioning.

Whether your ambitions are to be on your high school tennis team, earn a college scholarship, or even make the ATP/WTA tour, the Pass Academy will help you reach your full potential and achieve your goals.

The PA Invitational program is structured so as to create a balance between skill development, competition, fun and camaraderie that enables juniors to develop a healthy and successful relationship to competitive tennis.

A combination of fed ball drills, live ball drills, competitive drills, match play, and physical & mental conditioning permits each junior to develop the necessary technical, tactical, physical and mental skills to reach their potential.

Please note that this is an  “invitation only” programs and require approval by the program’s tennis director.

To enter our PA Invitational program, students must schedule a try-out with our professional staff.

This class is designed for individuals who exhibit the ability, desire and commitment to play National caliber events as a prelude to college or professional tennis. This is an invitation only class, meaning you must be selected by one of the Pass Academy staff.

This class involves one hour of match play, one hour of drills and one hour of off court training. Off court training entails mental training (for more information, see our “Mental Training” page) as well as training with a physical trainer (see “1 to 1 Fitness”). Players and parents must make a 3 day commitment to this program in order to participate (6 hours on court, 3 hours off court).

Those who participate in this class are given the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches the Mid Atlantic has to offer. This is an all encompassing program with a goal of producing top ranked, well rounded players. Physical fitness, consistency and mental toughness are crucial to the Super National program.

All of our Super National players participate in tournaments year round, and are ranked not only in the Mid Atlantic but nationally as well. Most of our students go onto play for top collegiate programs, many with full or partial tennis scholarships.

The Pass Academy Summer Camp Tennis Program is a carefully designed and implemented approach to the game of tennis. Our overall goal in the day camp is to teach tennis for a lifetime of enjoyment and exercise. We use sophisticated teaching techniques to analyze and develop strokes. Proper practice and drilling techniques are demonstrated while basic and advanced strategy is taught by on-court demonstration. Our small student/instructor ratio guarantees individual attention and evaluation.
