To participate in Lebsack’s 2023 Junior Team Tennis program, simply register your child for the age-appropriate section. Rosters will then be arranged according to a combination of player/parent preference (i.e. a group of friends/schoolmates of similar ability/age may request to be on the same team), and demonstrated tennis skill and experience.

Levels will be determined using the following criteria:

LOWER INTERMEDIATE

• General Experience - Prior match experience including JTT & some challenger tournaments.
• Game Strategy - Lacks shot anticipation on returns and therefore can only react.
• Movement & Footwork - Lacks ability to anticipate and therefore has difficulty covering the court. Limited footwork.    
• Ball Control & Placement - Consistent when hitting medium paced shots but lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power.
• Strokes - Not comfortable with all strokes including volleys, lobs, overheads and approach shots.
• Net Play - Can volley slower paced balls on both forehand and backhand side.
• Serve - (5 out of 10 times). Limited double-faults.
• Consistency - Fairly consistent hitting medium paced shots within reach. Difficulty ending points.

HIGHER INTERMEDIATE

• General Experience - Extensive match experience and some success with challenger tournaments.
• Game Strategy - Has an idea of what game strategy to use but lacks ability to fully execute game plan.
• Movement & Footwork - Can cover the court well but may make errors because of timing and footwork.    
• Ball Control & Placement - Improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots.
• Strokes - Comfortable with all strokes. Player needs to improve control of height, depth, direction and speed.
• Net Play - Can volley medium paced balls and return with directional intent.
• Serve - Player is developing more spin and power on the first serve and seldom double-faults.
• (7 out of 10 times)
• Consistency - Consistent hitting medium paced shots but may error when opponent uses varying pace, depth and spins.
