 After School Program - Spring and Summer

MTC Super Star Group

MTC Super Star Group The Super Star Group tennis program is geared for kids ages 4-7 years old, where children will focus on coordination, footwork, and movement using a fun, game-based approach. Our Head Pro Chris and the Team at MTC will be heading up the Super Star program. Progressive Tennis is considered by Tennis Canada and the International Tennis Federation to be the most effective and practical way to teach tennis to kids aged 4-7 years old. It scales down the game by using a smaller court, larger and lighter balls, lighter racquets and shorter nets. Our experienced coaches will be implementing Progressive Tennis in our youth programming and summer tennis camps to provide kids with the most enjoyable tennis experience possible.

Junior Tennis Ladder 

The type of Ladder that we are playing is a Box Ladder. There will be up to 5 people in a box. The intention is that you will play each person in the box once during each month. At the beginning of the month you can view your Ladder by clicking the Game time Ladder option and arrange matches with your box opponents. All scores will be entered by the participants directly on Game time, which will keep track of the standings.

You can join a ladder at any time, but new entrants will only begin play at the beginning of the following month. On the last day of each month the Ladder will be shuffled. The top 2 players will move up a box, the bottom 2 players will move down a box, and any new players will be added. To ensure active participation in the ladder, players who have not played any ladder matches at the end of the month will be removed from the ladder and will need to re-register to participate the following month.

When you begin play, you will be placed in a box with players of similar skill levels. A Ladder is meant to give everyone a competitive match so identifying your current skill level is important. 

Please indicate whether you are registered for High Performance, Advanced or Intermediate clinics. You can sign up with our Head Tennis Professional Chris at chris@markhamtennisclub.ca
