What’s New This Fall
Junior Program Updates
- Refined Class Names & Levels: Red, Orange, Green, and Yellow Ball classes have been restructured to provide a clearer pathway of progression for players of all ages and skill levels.
- Smaller Ratios for Better Coaching: Many classes now feature a 4:1 or 5:1 player-to-coach ratio, allowing for more individualized attention and faster development.
- Elite Pathway Opportunities: New “Elite” groupings offer advanced training and tournament preparation for players ready to compete.
We’re thrilled about these changes and confident that this new structure will allow every player to thrive — whether they’re just starting out or training at a competitive level.
Thank you for being part of the Commonpoint community. We can’t wait to see you on court this fall!
