Celisus Tennis Programs (school year times)
The Celsius Quickstart Program is designed for beginners, a dvanced beginners and pre-Intermediate players between the ages of 4 and 10. Our program is based in part on the USTA’s QuickStart Tennis format, but with some adaptations. Students focus on basic stroke technique, fundamentals, challenges and playing games. Each week students are given fun goals while earning “tape belts” similar to Martial Arts progression systems. The emphasis is first and foremost on FUN.
The size of the court, exercises, drills and intensity are based on age and ability. We even vary the type of balls to facilitate a more rapid development of hand-eye coordination and basic strokes to get your child up and playing tennis QUICKLY.
As students progress, so does the size of the court, speed, intensity and challenge of each exercise until they are beginners no more... Children are grouped by age, size and ability. This is a great way for your player to explore the game, meet new friends and develop at a rapid pace. Ages4-10.

Our new HotShots program is designed for students who have graduated from our QuickStart program or who already possess necessary skills and hand-eye coordination to move to a standard size (larger) court and play with regulation balls, but are not ready just yet for the rigors of our Future Champions (Intermediate Program) which includes conditioning exercises and more advanced drills.
Our student to coach ratio in the HotShots program is typically lower (max 6 per court) due to the more varied and demanding drills students will be working on as well as the more individualized attention they may require during this impprtant phase of their tennis development.
Like the QuickStart program, emphasis is first and foremost on fun and learning but with exercises, games and drills that more closely mirror the actual match play. You’ll be amazed at how fast your child progresses in this specially developed program.

The Future Champions (intermediate program) is for players that have basic tennis knowledge (forehand, backhand, serve, volley) and want to improve their game. Whether we are introducing strokes to a student for the first time or fine-tuning the ones they already have, it is our goal to create a positive experience.
In addition to drills, students also participate in competitive exercises, conditioning and match play with on court coaching aids in our students’ physical and mental development, as well as familiarizing them with game rules, scoring, and etiquette.
Our goal is to further the student’s knowledge of tennis through continuing stroke work, drills, match play and competitive games. The intermediate program offers more advanced exercises than the Quickstart program, along with a more competitive atmosphere, while still keeping the experience fun and exciting. Ages10-up.

The individual nature of tennis combined with the physical and mental demands of the sport demonstrate a strong correlation to academic performance and place tennis high in recruitment interest and admissions from the top colleges and universities. Many Celsius athletes have been awarded scholarships and/or greatly improved their options to attend their college or university of choice, including the top Ivy league schools and other leading colleges and universities.
