Juniors use our eight outdoor courts during the spring, summer, and early fall and then our five indoor courts during the late fall and winter seasons. We have seven full time teaching pros that strive to produce an environment where juniors of all levels feel comfortable in participating in private lessons, clinics, and team practices and matches. A primary goal of the tennis staff at BCC is to create a junior team tennis culture that emphasizes proper tennis technique and etiquette while at the same time being warm and inclusive. BCC embraces the USTA “Youth Tennis” initiative that emphasizes shorter rackets and courts with softer balls for juniors under 10. |  |
