As the court dimensions are adjusted smaller but with a similar ratio as the full court. This step helps ensure the development of an all-court game style with net-play. The key is to develop the same tactics as full court tennis along with the associated techniques. Players will move to 3/4 Court once they have a full repertoire of skills at the half court. For most players who have gone through the half court program this transition will take place at 7 years of age. There will also be some late starters or less coordinated players who will make this transition at 8-9 years of age.

Players will move to full court once they have a full repertoire of skills at the 3/4 court. For some very highly skilled players this will be at 8 years of age, however for most players who have gone through the half and 3/4 court programs, this transition will take place at 10 years of age. There will also be some late starters or less athletic players who will make this transition at 10-11 years of age. This transition to full court tennis will take place in a two step process. The first step will be with a transition ball which provides a more lively bounce then the low compression ball but not as much as a bounce as the regular ball (this will help promote the continued development of proper technique). This will help ensure longer points. The final step will be using the regular ball. No classes April 9, May 21, 2012.
