Junior Club Squad Program
Structured training for junior members of Scarborough Tennis Club
After completing the Hot Shots program, players move into our Junior Club Squad Program — the next stage in their tennis journey. This program is designed for players aged 7 to 18, from those just beginning to compete to those aiming for state and national tournaments.
We focus on building strong technical fundamentals, developing a healthy mindset, and encouraging players to take responsibility for their training and on-court results. We believe some of the best learning comes through challenge — including the experience of losing matches and learning from them.
This program is primarily for junior members of Scarborough Tennis Club, and players are encouraged to represent the club in the Tennis West Junior Pennant Competition.
Age groups and levels
