Junior Programs at BridgeMill Tennis Club
( Juniors are a big part of BridgeMill Tennis Club !!! )
| Junior Smash Tennis League |
BridgeMill's own Junior Team Tennis League ( Junior Smash league ), combines the fun of organized team tennis competition with the convenience of not having to travel across town each week. Seasons are Fall and Spring. Players are placed on teams using a draft system with the emphasis on creating teams of similar ability. The 8 week season includes player t-shirts, trophies to winning and finalist teams and a season ending pizza party for all players. All players compete each week in either a singles or doubles match and all teams make the playoffs! Team points are calculated each week and results are posted on the official league webpage.
