Junior Program Overview

Under the guidance of Next-Gen coaches, OFTC helps prepare student-athletes for competitive matches on Saturday mornings at 7:30 AM at FBMS and Waltrip High School. Before each USTA Grand Prix match, OFTC coaches organize team practices, discuss a nutrition plan, and conduct an equipment check, covering appropriate clothing, footwear, racquets, and essential supplies such as grip tape and water.

Furthermore, during USTA tournaments, OFTC coaches offer positive support to each player throughout the competition. Our club players aspire to earn USTA Sportamanship Pins for their efforts during tournaments.
