Turning first swings into lifelong confidence

Junior Development Programs at the Mouratoglou Tennis Center Amelia Island are designed to support young players throughout every stage of their tennis journey. Whether discovering the game for the first time or preparing for competition, each child benefits from personalized coaching, a structured training pathway, and a motivating environment by the sea. 

New to Tennis

Learning the game starts here

This introductory program welcomes children who are new to tennis and eager to start with the right foundations. Using the ROGY methodology — Red, Orange, Green, and Yellow balls — we tailor the training based on age and ability to ensure safe, progressive learning.

Each child begins with a one-on-one evaluation session to build a personalized training plan. From the first rally to their first win, players are supported every step of the way in a positive and encouraging atmosphere.

Ideal for players who have already developed basic tennis skills, this program introduces more advanced techniques, longer rallies, and early competitive formats.

Players grow in confidence as they begin to understand rhythm, decision-making, and the importance of mindset on court.
