Junior Tennis Programs
Progressive, Development and High Performance
Coach Wayne Elderton created Grant Connell's long-term development path for children and youth. As players progress through the three 'Academies', they learn essential tennis skills, gain valuable court experience and develop specific athletic abilities. Each level is a yearly plan that allows players to 'peak' for competitions appropriate to their level of play.
- Progressive Academy (5 to 11 years)
- Development Academy (11 to 17 yeas)
- High Performance Academy (8 to 17 years)

Level Advancement
Upon mastering certain skills, players will be informed by coaching staff when they are ready to graduate to the next program. We reserve the right to withdraw any player from a program if coaching staff believe they are not at the appropriate level.
