Beginners welcome — and we mean it.

Plenty of kids in our 6-to-10 group have never held a racket before camp. By Friday they're rallying. By the end of a week, most of them are asking when they can come back.

USPTA/PTR coaches, 1:8 ratio, red/orange/green ball progression, and a real country-club setting (pool, hot lunch, the works).

$425 full day | $325 half day | weekly or drop-in.

Every summer a parent asks me the same thing: is my kid ready for a first tennis tournament? Here's the honest answer. It's not about how hard they hit. It's about three things. Can they hold a twenty ball rally? Can they serve to start a point? And can they miss a shot, breathe, and play the next one? That third one matters most. We build it with the Between Point Routine long before anyone keeps score. New post breaks down how to know when the timing is right, and how to make a first tournament a good memory instead of a scary one. What was your kid's first tournament like? https://srq.tennis/blog/when-should-my-child-play-first-tennis-tournament-sarasota

Most parents watch a junior miss a forehand and see a swing problem. Usually it's the feet. They arrived late, the body was still drifting, and the contact point ended up behind the player. Good ball striking starts from the ground up.

That's why we teach footwork as its own skill at SRQ Tennis, using the David Bailey Method and his Golden 12 movement patterns. A kid who knows the patterns stops guessing and starts arriving on time. We build it in the right order, drill it in live ball, and track it with real numbers.

New on the blog: how we coach tennis footwork in Sarasota. https://srq.tennis/blog/tennis-footwork-david-bailey-method-junior-players-sarasota

When your player misses a shot, do you look at the swing or the feet?

For the kid who's serious about tennis this summer:

The 11-to-16 group is built around match play, point construction, and tactical decision-making. We teach Mistakes Math (one mistake costs three points minimum), build a Between-Point Routine, and use live-ball progressions so the work transfers to actual matches — not just to practice.

Full day 9 AM – 2 PM | Half day 9 AM – 12 PM.

Parents ask me this all the time: what size tennis racket does my 8 year old need? Short version, most land on a 25 inch frame, but height beats age every time. Here is the home test I use. Have your child stand with arms down and let the racket hang next to their leg. The cap should sit near the floor with fingertips reaching the top of the frame. Too long and they swing late and miss the center of the strings. Get the size right and clean contact gets easier while they are still learning it. Full breakdown, including the sizing chart by height: https://srq.tennis/blog/what-size-tennis-racket-does-my-8-year-old-need-sarasota

What racket is your kid swinging right now?

You don't need a private club to give your kid great court time in Sarasota. Public parks work just fine, and most of them are free. I put together a quick guide to where I'd send a family that wants to play, from Potter Park to Payne Park to the courts by the bay, plus how to make an hour on court actually count. Find one close to home and go often. Where do you and your kid like to hit in Sarasota?

Parents ask me this every week at Potter Park and Pineview: group lessons or private lessons for my kid? Both work. They just do different jobs. A group gives your junior live ball, real rallies, and other kids to compete against, for less per hour. A private gives focused time to fix one thing fast, with video when it helps. Most players do best with a group as the base and a private when they hit a specific wall. I broke down the full tradeoff, with real Sarasota pricing, on the SRQ Tennis blog. Which one is your player leaning toward right now? https://srq.tennis/blog/group-vs-private-tennis-lessons-sarasota-junior — Coach Michael
