j un i o r t e nn i s SERVE IT UP WITH AAC JUNIOR TENNIS!

FALL EVENTS JUNIOR PRO/AM EVENT AND HALLOWEEN BOO BASH October 25

Welcome to the AAC Junior Development Tennis Program. I bring with a wealth of knowledge having grown up in a family that played professional tennis, Davis Cup and in all 4 Grand Slams. My Godfather and my father also coached some of the best juniors in the United States and Argentina in the 90’s and 2000’s. I have a Master’s Degree in Child and Adolescent Psychology specializing in Crisis Intervention. Tennis is in my blood and while I love developing athletes and teaching them the sport, having fun while they work hard is the most important thing. Patrick Aubone Director of Tennis Program

Join us for a rare combination of events. While the older kids can participate in the Pro/Am event, the younger siblings can run around enjoying Halloween activities such as candy scavenger hunt, tennis games, pickleball and a best costume party! For those participating in the Pro/Am event they will team up with a Tennis Professional and compete for best costume and overall division winners. AFTER SCHOOL TENNIS PROGRAM This year brings some changes and more structure to the junior program. Kids will now have a martial arts style system of color bands. Kids can test at the end of each session to see where their level is at and what needs to improve during the next session in order to move up colors and eventually progress from Red Ball to Orange Ball to Green/Yellow Ball.
