We're passionate about offering the best that tennis can offer, we adhere to USTA ROGY standards for junior players.

What is ROGY?

ROGY is an acronym for the progression of tennis balls that junior players use as they grow older, beginning with low-compression balls and later to the traditional balls associated with tennis. We adopted USTA standards, including the use of RED balls for children five and older, ORANGE balls for children eight and older, and GREEN balls for children 10 and older. When 12 year-olds have progressed through the low-compression ball lineup and are ready for advanced competition on a full-size court, they play with the standard ball. As students progress, they graduate to the traditional YELLOW balls.

Not all players progress at the same rate, so advancement can only be decided by a teaching professional. Our teaching pros make every effort to communicate with parents regarding their child’s development. We will be happy to put you in touch with the pro or provide an evaluation.
