JUNIOR TENNIS

Every stage
of the journey.

The Junior Program supports young players at every stage of their tennis journey, whether they are discovering the game or preparing for competition.

Each child benefits from personalized coaching, a structured training pathway and a motivating environment by the sea. Players are grouped by age and level after an individual evaluation.

THE PATHWAY

Three levels.
One direction.

From the first rally to the first tournament, each level builds on the one before.

  • Groups set by both age and skill level
  • A clear plan, reviewed as the player grows
