Book a LessonMITA Tennis Academy offers a complete range of programs for players at every stage of development — from young beginners picking up a racquet for the first time to competitive adults preparing for USTA league play. Our structured curriculum gives each player a clear pathway for growth, improvement, and success on the court. Lessons are held at courts in Englewood, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Aurora and nearby communities.
Every program follows a proven methodology that combines technical instruction with tactical awareness, physical conditioning, and mental preparation. Our coaches design each session to be challenging yet enjoyable, so players stay motivated while making measurable progress. All programs are available as private, split or group lessons — see current rates, starting at $25 per person for group training.
Introducing children to tennis at the right age and in the right way is critical for long-term development. Our kids' programs follow the USTA-recommended ball progression, using age-appropriate equipment and court sizes to create the ideal learning environment for young athletes.

For the youngest players, ages six and under, our Little Kids sessions are a playful first step: balance, coordination and hand-eye skills with foam balls and 17 to 21-inch racquets, in small groups from $20 per child.
The Red Ball (First Stage) program is designed for children ages eight and under. Players develop proper stroke fundamentals, footwork and movement skills, and cooperative rallying. They use 21 to 23-inch racquets, which lets them build correct technique without the strain of full-size equipment. Classes are kept small — private, split, and group options at a maximum 4-to-1 student-to-coach ratio — so every child receives individual attention.
The Orange Ball program serves players ages ten and under who have developed basic rally skills. Using 23 to 25-inch racquets with reduced-compression balls, students refine their strokes, improve footwork, and build consistent rallying ability. This stage is crucial for developing the control and movement patterns that carry over to full-court tennis. The same small class ratios apply — private, split, and group at 4-to-1.
The Green Ball program is designed for athletes ages twelve and under who are ready for near-full-court play. Players use 25 to 26-inch racquets with balls that bounce at 75 percent of standard compression, which lets them develop more advanced stroke mechanics, serve fundamentals, and point construction. This is the final preparatory stage before players move to regulation yellow-ball tennis. Choosing equipment? See how to pick the right racquet for your child.
Each stage is carefully structured to support healthy physical development, technical progression, and a growing love for the sport. Our coaches use positive reinforcement, engaging drills, and age-appropriate challenges to keep every lesson fun and productive. Kids' group training starts at $25 per child per session; private and split lessons are available at every level.
The teenage years are a critical period in a tennis player's development. MITA offers three distinct tracks for teen players: competitive training, high school preparation, and recreational play. Each is available as private, split or group sessions.
Our competitive teen program is designed for tournament-level players who are serious about advancing their game. Teen tennis drills focus on advanced stroke mechanics, footwork optimization, serve technique refinement, and match-play strategy. Coaches work closely with each player to develop a competitive game style and build the mental toughness required for high-level competition.
The high school program prepares athletes for varsity and junior varsity competition. We focus on the specific demands of team tennis — singles and doubles strategy, match fitness, and performing under the pressure of team scoring. MITA is a proud sponsor of the Cherry Creek High School boys' tennis program.
For teenagers who enjoy tennis as a recreational activity, we offer sessions that emphasize fun, fitness, and skill development without the pressure of competition. These lessons are perfect for teens who want to stay active, socialize with peers, and develop a sport they can enjoy for a lifetime.
Tennis is one of the best lifetime sports, and it is never too late to start or improve. Our adult programs cater to two main groups: development players and recreational players. If you're starting from scratch, read how adults begin tennis at any level.
Our development program targets adults rated USTA 2.5 through 5.0 who want to systematically improve their game. Coaches work on stroke refinement, tactical awareness, serve and return strategy, net play, and the ability to construct points effectively. Each lesson is customized to address the specific areas where a player needs the most improvement.
For recreational players, we offer relaxed yet productive sessions focused on consistent strokes, on-court fitness, and the skills needed to enjoy social tennis. Whether you play in a weekend league, take part in UTR Flex Leagues through our partner UTR Sports, or simply hit with friends, our coaches help you get more out of every match. Adult lessons start at $25 per person for group training and $70 for a private session.
For players who want to sharpen their competitive edge, MITA offers dedicated sparring and footwork sessions. Tennis sparring is structured match-play practice where players can test their skills against opponents in a coached environment. These sessions focus on point construction, pattern recognition, and the ability to execute under match-like pressure.
Our specialized footwork training develops the physical attributes behind every great player's game: explosive first-step speed, lateral and recovery movement, endurance, core strength, balance, and mobility. These sessions are available as standalone training or as a supplement to regular lessons, and are booked as private or split sessions.
For junior players who want to continue their tennis journey at a competitive and collegiate level, MITA offers comprehensive assistance: guidance on college tennis opportunities, tournament preparation and planning, individual performance evaluation, and long-term mentorship.
Our coaches help families navigate the process of identifying appropriate college programs and preparing for the athletic and academic demands of college tennis. We work with players throughout their development to ensure they are positioned for success.
No matter your age, skill level, or goals, MITA Tennis Academy has a program designed for you. Tell us the player's age and experience — we'll recommend the right format and confirm the rate before your first session.
