About

Benchmark Coaches have embraced the 12 and Under pathway using the proper Nets, Balls, and Courts, and we line-out the 36 foot and 60 foot courts for our events.  We pride ourselves on that fact that we believe in continued education and use what we learn to make our programs more effective and fun.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

All Benchmark Tennis Junior Tennis events are Match Play!

By forming a group of dedicated tennis professionals who believe in a Common Coaching Pathway (CCP), we can provide the necessary coaching and  training so that our participants’ expectations are exceeded, resulting in better play.

We developed and set standards for all ages and levels of play that ensure that match play activity is a positive and rewarding experience. The coaching, playing, and advancing segments of our programs are the key to your child’s success.

Our Coaches want kids to be successful wherever they are in their stage of development. Students will be able to play matches when they have achieved the requirements in the Match Play Criteria. And they will advance to the next level (Ball Color) when they have achieved the requirements in the Advancement Criteria.

Students who participate in Benchmark Tennis are better prepared for USTA Events, like tournaments and Junior Team Tennis leagues.

Our committed tennis professionals are organizing events in your area based on the following formats. Each level will have a beginning and advanced grouping.

RED LEVEL                   36 foot court                   Red Felt ball                        7- Point Tie Breaker

ORANGE LEVEL          60 foot court                   Orange Felt ball                10- Point Tie Breaker

GREEN LEVEL              78 foot court                   Green Dot Felt Ball           10- Point Tie Breaker

All Matches are timed.

SIMPLE STROKES

Simple strokes are demonstrated and then the player is given enough opportunity to develop the stroke.

COMMON COACHING PATHWAY

Our unique and diverse group of coaches has agreed to follow our proven method of coaching that is a collection of best practices, ideas, trials, and errors.

Our coaches will evaluate your child and make sure that they are at the right level. Contact us to set up an evaluation.

Benchmark Tennis is a registered non-profit organization and is listed on Guidestar.org. We offer scholarships in our after-school programs, reduced-fee or free match-play practices, and low-cost special tennis events.
