Junior Tennis Programming
The Junior Program at PTF is designed to be both fun, yet demanding. Participants will be provided the necessary skill development to excel at the recreational, high school, USTA and college level. An evaluation is sometimes necessary for participation in the program and provided at no cost. Class placement is determined by both age and ability. To set up an evaluation, please contact Barry Hankel at 608-208-1760, or barry@ptfjanesville.com.
PTF utilizes a USTA recommended pathway, including low-compression tennis balls (Red, Orange, & Green).

Red Ball (Ages 3-5)
