JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAMS AT KRC
Follow a clear pathway from an accessible first experience to sustained development and advanced competitive training.
A Clear Path from First Rally to Competitive Tennis
KRC’s junior tennis programs are operated by Noble Tennis School (NTS), led by KRC Racquets Director Tony Roth. The NTS pathway organizes player development by age division, playing level, and commitment. Players begin with the program that fits their current experience, then move into increasing levels of training, play, and competitive development.
Junior Program Calendar
Registration typically opens 1–2 months before each session begins. Introductory programs are registered by session. Diligent Development, All Stars, and Master Class are annual pathways running from September through June. Exact program dates are confirmed in CourtReserve.

How do I choose the correct junior program level?
Start with the player’s experience, goals, and the age division shown for each program. Mighty Mites and Futures have open enrolment. Diligent Development and All Stars require an assessment or coach invitation, while Master Class placement is coach-led. If you are unsure, contact KRC or book an introductory orientation so one of our instructors can assess your child and recommend the appropriate pathway.
