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.

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.
