About: MH Junior Method
We’ve spent the past several years working with some top minds in junior tennis. In 2019 we put pen to paper and mapped out a uniquely Murray Hill method. We’ve taken the best elements from a number of internationally renowned teaching philosophies and created our own system.
5 parts – the pathway, strategic practice plans, play-based perks, unparalleled program support and supplementary opportunities – combine to create the most complete junior curriculum on the market.

Advanced Levels: At Max and Performance level classes, extra time in each ROGY (Red ➡Orange ➡ Green ➡ Yellow) stage produces our most advanced players. The repetition promotes higher levels of confidence and consistency. Players in these classes often play at least twice a week with the goal of playing high-level competitive tennis. This shared goal creates an environment where coaches drive players to achieve their maximum potential.
Sample Advanced Track:
⬆ Performance Max
⬆ Performance
⬆ High School Prep
⬆ Yellow Max
⬆ Green Max
⬆ Green Aces
⬆ Orange Max
⬆ Orange Aces
⬆ Red Max
⬆ Red Aces
Core Levels: These classes create a solid foundation at each stage within the ROGY progression. Red ball players are introduced to PSR (Prep-strike-recover) through an emphasis on hand-eye coordination and sending/receiving skills. Beginning at Orange Champs, we introduce depth, spin, and transition to net, while continuing to reinforce PSR.
Sample Core Track:
⬆ Yellow Core 2
⬆ Yellow Core
⬆ Green Champs
⬆ Orange Champs
⬆ Red Champs
⬆ Tiny Tennis
⬆ Teeny Tiny
Speed Level: Many players enter our pathway between ages 4 and 6. Orange Speed (ages 7-10) is a prerequisite class designed for older children without prior experience. Orange and Green low-compression balls are used to create more time for Speed players to develop a proper swing shape and contact point from day one.
