HBC Junior Tennis Pathway

Posted on:June 8th, 2011 by Harbor Bay Club

HBC Junior Tennis Pathway
A new & fun approach to introducing and fostering a lifelong love of the game of tennis.

The Harbor Bay Club Junior Tennis Pathway will allow a junior to develop at their own pace and not be restricted by age. The term “tennis appropriate” refers to a junior participating in a class that reflects their skill level. Some juniors will move beyond their age level sooner than others. Not all will advance to the highest levels. The primary goal is for them to learn the game in a fun manner and have the basic skills to enjoy playing for the rest of their lives.

Pathway entry levels start with 10 & Under Tennis programming and concludes at High Performance for those players with advanced skills and experience.

Quick Start Tennis is utilized. QST is a games-based methodology, utilizing low-compression balls, tennis-appropriate racquets, nets and courts.
For more information on Quick Start Tennis visit www.10andundertennis.com.

The Club's spa is the only place in Alameda where I can get my nails done, or any spa treatment, without having to arrange care for my kids. As a busy mom, that's HUGE for me.

- Maureen McFall

I love the balance of exercise and socializing that the Club offers. After a workout or spin cycle class, it's great to relax with friends and a glass of wine at the Clubhouse Bar & Grill.

- Mark Landreth

At my age my joints can't handle the stress of high impact exercise but the Club offers a wonderful range of non-impact options which keep me fit and feeling great.

- Michael Morgan

I've tried a lot of gyms and they're always cramped and dirty. I love how spacious and clean the Harbor Bay Club is and how friendly the members and staff are.

- Shirley Goodman

I have a challenging work schedule and travel a lot. With the Club's Spinners tennis program, I never have to call anybody to arrange a time to play tennis. It's perfect for me.

- Ming Chin

I love how comfortable and unintimidating the Club is. I don't feel like I have to have a supermodel's body to feel good about being here.

- Cheryl Landreth

Working out at the Club has been essential to managing my diabetes and stress. The Harbor Bay Club has saved my life.

- Eric Cross

I live in Orinda but come to the Club 4 times a week because Mike Bauer [the Tennis Director] is awesome. He's very patient and a great teacher. His knowledge is amazing... I mean the guy beat Jimmy Conners!
