JUNIOR BEGINNER PROGRAMS
Elysium Tennis has a passion for the development of junior players.
We start with our Beginners program and continue with more competitive levels of play. We offer programming starting with 3 year-olds and continue through our Elysium Academy program.
We understand what it takes to be a competitive tennis player. Elysium Pros have been developing junior players for over 20 years and all have collegiate playing experience. Our alumni juniors have won the district, state, midwest, and national championships with over 30 players earning NCAA college scholarship money. To support our juniors in their athletic development, our professional staff offers group and private lessons.
Elysium Tennis strives to create a positive atmosphere that encourages players to not only work hard but to work together. We care about our players, both as athletes and people, and are here to support their efforts both on and off the court.
