DEVELOPMENT

 

After completing our Hot Shots pathway, players progress into our + Programs before advancing to Yellow Ball classes. “+ Programs” are invitation-only, with placement based on coach recommendation.

If your child has previous tennis experience and is new to PPTA, please contact us so we can help find the most suitable program for their level.

RED + (4 – 6 Years Old)

Our Red+ program is designed for players who have completed at least one full term of Hot Shots Red stage. It is ideal for children who can consistently rally a few shots and are ready for the next challenge.

Players refine their forehand, backhand, serve, and volley technique while improving rally consistency, footwork, court positioning, and match play. Sessions include more challenging drills, point play, and game-based activities to prepare players for the Orange stage.

PERFORMANCE

Our Performance program is our highest level and is designed for players who have completed our Advanced+ level.

It’s the perfect fit for busy teens who want to stay sharp, level up their strategy, and get a great workout without a full-time training commitment. Players in this group should already have solid fundamentals, reliable strokes, and the ability to hold down a fast-paced baseline rally.

These weekly sessions are high-energy but focused on fun, competitive play. We spend time working on how to switch from defense to offense, and mastering smart court positioning. Each week includes dynamic drills, net play transitions, and plenty of match-play scenarios to keep your skills sharp for the court.
