Junior Development Program

  • Red Ball (Ages 5–8) — Mini court, foundational skills & coordination
  • Orange Ball (Ages 8–10) — ¾ court, technique, consistency & match play
  • Green Ball (Ages 10–12) — Full court, tactics, squad & competition entry
  • Yellow Ball (Ages 12+) — Advanced squad, tournament prep & rankings
