Everything families need to know

We welcome players ages 5–16. Our Red Ball program starts at age 5, Orange Ball at 7, Green Ball at 9, and Yellow Ball (tournament track) at 12+.

No experience needed! Our Red Ball level is designed for complete beginners. We recommend scheduling a free evaluation so our coaches can place your child in the right group.

Step 1: Visit the session link on our Schedule page. Step 2: Create a free CourtReserve visitor account (just your name and email). Step 3: Select drop-in or the full season option and complete payment. Step 4: You’ll receive a reservation reminder email the day before each session.

Drop-in lets you pay per session with no commitment. When available, season pricing covers the full session block at a discounted rate. Pricing varies by season—check the Schedule page for current rates.

Cancellations must be made via email to nextgenacademypb@gmail.com at least 24 hours in advance in order to receive a make-up session.

Parents must email us the desired make-up date at least 24 hours in advance. This allows us to accurately account for how many courts we need to reserve.

Comfortable athletic clothing, court shoes (non-marking soles), and a water bottle. We provide paddles and balls for all sessions.

We operate at two Dill Dinkers locations: Rockville (40 Southlawn Court, Suite C) and North Bethesda (4942 Boiling Brook Parkway).

EASE stands for Ethics, Attitude, Skills, and Excellence — our four core values that guide everything we do, from how we coach to how athletes compete.
