The Junior Tennis Program
At Knickerbocker Sports our junior tennis programs are designed to individually challenge players of all levels and ages from 4 – 18 years old. Throughout the week, students will be encouraged to further develop their strokes and strategies via group or private lessons, enhance team and individual skill building drills, improve with match play, practice target training, and strengthen with fitness and conditioning. All students are carefully grouped and all ages and levels are welcome. Groups are based on age and ability.

VARSITY / JUNIOR VARSITY – for high school and middle school players seeking to join varsity and junior varsity school teams.
