Children’s Tennis Programs
Ages 3-15 years:
“Progressive Tennis”
A New More Fun Way to Learn and Play. “Progressive Tennis” allows all children the opportunity to develop overall tennis skills faster. The Program is a series of stages that allow learners to develop tennis through modified courts, nets, balls and rackets. Players start at 1/2 or Mini Court using rackets that fit their physical size, slow moving low compression or dense foam balls and cooperative learning models. The levels progress to 3/4 court, with a modified ball, then to full court with eventually playing with the regular ball
All programs include one weekday of instruction and a weekly fun based free session of low key competitive play throughout the session.
Our philosophy is that we develop tennis players who have great skills for life as well as great skills Tennis is a great fun game to play and the quicker and more skillfully a player can play, the more fun they have. We all know the more fun we have the longer we play.
Parent participation in the free play day is more than welcome
