Bentonville Parks and Recreation partners with Ozark Tennis Academy to teach our tennis programming in order to provide the highest quality service and professionalism there is around. Our program offers tennis skill development, fundamental practice, and proper form etiquette for every tennis player regardless of skill level. Our tennis coaches are some of the top tennis pros around and have a high level of knowledge, experience, and skill. Bentonville Parks and Recreation brings a prestigious tennis program to public of all ages who want to learn tennis, improve their skill, or just get out and play.
All tennis programming will take place at Citizens Park, Memorial Park and Wildwood Park.
At Bentonville Parks and Recreation, we offer 2 Youth Tennis programs along with private lessons. BPR offers Youth Recreational Tennis and Youth Academy Tennis!
Youth Recreational Tennis
This program includes beginner and intermediate players divided into the age groups (6-8) (9-11). This program focuses more on instruction and point play. The program also includes QuickStart Tennis: a fun way for 10U players to learn and progress faster. It uses shorter courts, lower compression balls, and smaller rackets.
Youth Academy
This program is for tournament level players looking for higher-level drills and lessons. These drills put emphasis on advanced technique, commitment, fitness, accountability, and self-discipline. We offer 5 different groups in this program:
Red (ages 5-7) uses 25% compression balls and looks for players to be able to hit 100 consecutive balls and execute topspin.
Orange (ages 8-10) uses 50% compression balls on a 60’ court. Players may move up to Orange Crush by coaches’ decision.
Crush (ages 8-10) 50% compression balls on 60’ court. Look for players to hit 100 consecutive balls from the 60’ baseline and execute topspin.
White (ages 11+) for intermediate tournament players.
Black (ages 11+) for advanced tournament players. (Most often players traveling across the state, south, and/or country for tournaments.
