Youth Sports Player Pathway...

Enrichment

Why Play with TGA?

We incorporate station-based athletic skill development activities, STEAM activities to explore educational concepts through sports, and key life lessons including teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, and leadership.

Athletics

Our programs align with the American Development Model (ADM) created by the U.S. Olympic Committee to help individuals realize their athletic potential and utilize sport as a path toward an active and healthy lifestyle.

Academics

We use sports as a vehicle for teaching academic lessons. Students participate in STEAM activities that allow them to creatively explore and relate concepts such as history, math, gravity, aerodynamics, and simple machines through the sports they are playing.

Life Lessons

Through sports, we help develop values that promote individual growth and teamwork. By teaching lessons in sportsmanship, perseverance, respect, positive mindset and leadership, our young athletes are encouraged to make good decisions on the field, course, court and in life.

Tennis Sized Right

TGA utilizes the USTA’s “Tennis Sized Right” guidelines for youth tennis equipment and courts that are tailored to the size and ability of children’s bodies to allow for quicker success and enjoyment of the game. As players grow physically and develop stronger skills, they advance to playing on courts and with equipment that gets progressively closer to standardized tennis.

Tennis Balls

Reduced compression balls bounce lower and move slower.

Tennis Racquets

Youth racquets have smaller grips so they're easier to hold and swing.

Tennis Courts

Courts are smaller so kids can cover more ground and make more shots.

Ways to Play

Our program progression is designed to refine skill, achieve success, promote discovery through play and provide a pathway to Keep Playing!^®

In each class students rotate through station-based drills and activities that develop core skills and an understanding of the history, rules, etiquette, and vocabulary of the sport.

Play Days

TGA Play Days are an opportunity for developing athletes to experience social and competitive aspects of sports in a low-pressure setting. The emphasis is on fun and safety as players get a chance to put their skills and knowledge into play.

Play Days are the second point on our player pathway because they are a great next step for anyone who had participated in a TGA Enrichment Program or any young athlete who wants to continue developing their game through organized play.

"TGA is very organized, communication is very good, teachers are knowledgeable and relate well to the children. I appreciate that there was foundational knowledge about the rules of the game in addition to the skill development and they taught the children importance of warm ups before exercise. Lifelong skills are being cultivated."
