Junior Development

Advantage Junior Development Program

The Advantage Junior Development Program is designed to provide young players with the athletic and technical skills for optimum improvements.

We offer excellent facilities at all Advantage Clubs:

  • Manhattan Plaza Racquet Club, conveniently located in midtown Manhattan
  • New York Tennis Club, easily reached from Manhattan, the Bronx and lower Westchester
  • Roosevelt Island Racquet Club, an oasis in the East River

The result is a year-round, easily accessible, well-supervised development program for children.


Continue to develop a life-long love of tennis with us in our instructional and competitive youth programs designed for children ages 7 and older. Our progressive curriculum will develop stroke technique, basic footwork/conditioning, and point/match play. Team play, tournaments, and special events are offered to provide a well-rounded experience for your child.

Athletic Zone

All 1 1/2 hour and 2 hour classes after school and Saturday include 30 minutes of training in the Athletic Zone with the goal of developing athletes as well as tennis players. We feel it is critical to a child’s tennis development to improve athletic skills. Players will participate in level- and age-appropriate exercises and drills focusing on improving balance, agility, footwork, speed and strength. Athletic Zone classes are conducted primarily on court.

Match Play

Sessions are scheduled on Fridays from 6-8PM at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club and are supervised by a member of our professional staff.

Children are placed in classes based on the following criteria:
Skill Level Players within a group must be at similar levels.
Age Generally a class is most successful when players are near the same age.
Location If a child needs transportation, logistics of pick-up and drop-off become a significant consideration in class placement. (Available at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club only)

Holiday Camps

We offer Holiday Camps for ages 6-17 during the December and Spring vacations at our Roosevelt Island Racquet Club location. On court time is divided between instruction, drills, competitive games, training in the Athletic Zone and match play. There is a 15 minute break daily for snacks. The hours of the program are 12-4PM daily except for Wednesdays when the hours are 1-5PM.

Note that students may also attend the Holiday Camp on a daily basis. Fees for Tuition and Transportation are pro-rated.

Advantage Membership Benefit

Members of the Junior Program receive full Roosevelt Island Racquet Club membership benefits for the period of time they are enrolled in the Junior Program. This means member prices on court rentals and private lessons with two week in advance reservation privileges.
