When it comes to youth tennis programs, PAC is the best in the Bay Area. We cater to children ages 4 through 18, from beginning players to advanced tournament competitors. And helping your child enjoy the game of tennis for a lifetime is our #1 priority. So get your kids involved, whether they join us for pure recreation, to make new friends or to hone their competitive edge.

In addition to outstanding instruction in all of our clinics and camps, we emphasize the development of essential life skills, such as teamwork, cooperation and sportsmanship through the Pyramid of Success program.

Junior Interclub Matches

Interclub matches are organized for our junior players throughout the spring, summer and fall. This gives kids the opportunity to gain competitive match play experience with players from other local clubs -- without the full weekend time commitment of traveling to a tournament. Plus they’ll benefit from the supervision and guidance from PAC’s tennis staff.

Pyramid of Success Program

The Pyramid of Success program is specifically designed to foster positive values and high self-esteem in our young players. The program is based on Coach John Wooden’s children’s book, Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success. Our qualified and caring instructors not only teach children how to achieve their own success as tennis players, but more importantly, they emphasize the positive life lessons that sports can teach.

Kids will follow Inch and Miles on their journey toward discovering Coach Wooden's famed Pyramid of Success. The pyramid teaches them how to achieve success through hard work, enthusiasm, determination, friendship and a myriad of qualities needed to bring out their personal best. This program is an integral part of our junior tennis program year-round at all levels and is tailored for each specific age group by our coaching staff.

For more information on the Pyramid of Success program, please contact Marisa Stone in the Tennis Office at 650.593.4999. Or e-mail tennis@pacclub.com.
