Program Levels Overview

Our Junior Development Program is designed for players of all ages and skill levels, with tailored classes to build technique, strategy, and match play. Here’s a quick look at our core levels:

01.

Future Stars

Designed for ages 5–10. This introductory program emphasizes fun, hand-eye coordination, and beginning stroke development in a lively, age-appropriate environment. 5–6 year olds play with red balls, while 7–10 year olds progress with orange and green balls. No UTR requirement.

02.

Blueprint - Starting Point

Blueprint will be for those with a UTR of a 2 or below. This 8-week program (for students attending 2 days per week) or 12-week program (for students attending 1 day per week) focuses on building a strong technical foundation, proper stroke mechanics, court movement, and basic rules. Through fun, progressive drills, players develop confidence and consistency in our teaching methodology.

After completing the required weeks in Blueprint, students with a UTR of 1.5 or higher may advance. Students below 1.5 UTR remain in Blueprint to continue strengthening their foundation.

03.

Accelerated

After completing the requirements for Blueprint, you will join the Accelerated Group. This is designed for players with a UTR between 1.5 and 2.0. This level builds on the Blueprint foundation with an emphasis on consistent rallying, technical refinement, court positioning, and introductory point play. Players focus on accelerating skill development through progressive drills and begin preparing for competitive situations.

04.

Varsity Prep

For motivated players ages 12–18 with a UTR between 2.0 and 3.5. This program targets advanced technique refinement, increased endurance, tactical awareness, and team-style drills. Designed to prepare athletes for high school varsity tennis, with a strong focus on match readiness and competitive consistency.

05.

High Performance

For competitive juniors ages 14+ with a UTR of 3.5 and above. This elite development program concentrates on tournament strategy, mental toughness, high-intensity match simulation, and advanced tactical decision-making. Players receive continued refinement of technique while working to elevate their UTR rating and overall competitive performance.

Our Group-Lesson Philosophy:

Every group class focuses on proper technique, point strategy, and live-ball drilling β€” you do NOT need private lessons to develop great strokes. We cover technique every single session! Private lessons are optional and best used to accelerate progress or fine-tune something specific that needs extra attention.

Awesome facility with even better coaching. The clay courts are awesome, especially considering how rare they are in Utah. This club outshines other clubs in the area by FAR and becoming a member was a decision I will never regret!!!
