Cherokee Junior Tennis

Our objective is to help juniors develop their skills and begin competing as early as possible. Cherokee has earned a reputation for helping develop some of the best players in the state. We also put great effort into improving the play of our recreational juniors who get an early start in the game through the 10- and-under program, junior lessons, and leagues.

12 & Under

The USTA’s 10 & under format provides the tools to help foster the growth of those skills in players as young as 4 and 5 years old. We’re excited to offer USTA’s concept of smaller courts, lower nets, shorter racquets and slower balls, as the cornerstone of our junior program.​​​

Junior Leagues

Junior league play is offered for those junior members who wish to augment their group lessons with singles and doubles match play. Competitive play is the best way for players to improve their game. Leagues are available all year long. ​​

Junior Interclub

A great way to create more matches for our juniors, as well as to build camaraderie, is to play interclub matches against other clubs from around the area, and sometimes from clubs statewide. We always participate in the summer All-City Interclub and Doubles Championship every June-Aug, and try to host or travel to another club at other times of the year. It’s always good competition and a fun time!​​

Junior Group Lessons

We have Junior Programs available for all ages and levels.  Daily mini camps are 1.5 hours long and are available on a daily basis Monday-Thursday throughout the year. During the Summer and over Winter Break you’ll find week-long, all day training camps that are designed for families who would like to drop their player off at the beginning of the workday, and pick them up at the end. Their games will definitely advance through intense and fun learning on the court!  Please contact us in advance to confirm availability for programs.
