No refunds/credits will be given for missed classes due to illness, vacation, your child opting out of attending (including napping), etc. If we cancel a class due to weather or teacher absence, the class will be made up during our makeup week. If more than one class is canceled due to weather or teacher absence, a refund/credit for those additional missed classes will be issued.

Tennis

Revolution Academy Junior Tennis Program is designed to give children a chance to develop the proper technique, movement, and hand-eye coordination to foster a love for tennis. Each of the programs offers optimal training for junior development, using age-appropriate court size and equipment, and encourages a fun environment. 

Red Ball: Ages 3 – 5: This group uses a red tennis ball that’s slightly bigger and has a lower compression and therefore moves at a slower speed, allowing your little one to get a feel for the game. At this age, kids use a small court of 36 feet and use smaller racquets. 

Mondays and Thursdays from 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm and 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm 

Mondays

Thursdays

Orange Ball: Ages 5-8: This group trains on a larger-sized court of 60 ft and uses an orange ball that has the appropriate compression. This ball allows children to play in their “strike zone”. The lower bounce will enable the player to develop basic patterns and spins. The player will also use appropriate-length racquets.   

Green Ball: Ages 8-10: This group is designed for children 10 and under and works on a regular-sized court. Players will use a green ball, with slightly less compression which will allow them to fully develop their technique and skills needed to move into competitive play. 

**All participants (orange and green ball age) will be evaluated on the first day of class and will be put into a group based on their skills and abilities. **

Cheer

The mission of cheerleading enrichment is to provide our children with a safe learning environment, both physically and socially. That fosters their growth as teammates and individuals through opportunity, encouragement, and self-confidence. Children will have the opportunity to choose to participate in the development of athletic skills. Some of these skills include stunting, dancing, jumping, and tumbling. Children will be able to develop leadership skills through cooperation, and sportsmanship, and create new friendships. As well as have the opportunity to learn cheers and chants and basic cheerleading skills, such as form, motions, vocal projection, rhythm, timing, and enthusiasm. Our end goal will be to have a choreographed routine where family and friends will be able to attend. Cheer is for ages 4 (entering PreK) – 10 years old. Snack is included in the cost.
