Developmental GRIPS Junior Tennis Program
The GRIPS Program is based on our core belief that players must develop and master a comprehensive skills set progression from the first time they pick up a racquet. We do this by:
- Captivating the players attention (i.e. they have to have fun)
- Motivating the player to get to the next level (i.e. they have to be challenged)
- Rewarding the player for achievements (i.e. keeping players invested in the game so they stick around longer)
Fun, Challenging, and Rewarding—it sounds so simple, but as you probably know, it can be tricky—and that is why we know you will love GRIPS! Here are 11 levels that challenge players!
