JUNIOR TENNIS STARTER PROGRAM
(AGES 3-5)
What other sport develops skills, coordination and concentration to the extent that tennis does? Skills that can be used in every other sport too. And, it can be learnt at an age when it is critical for children to develop fundamental sporting skills like hitting, catching and hitting.
The JUNIOR TENNIS STARTER PROGRAM is specifically designed for children aged 3-5 to make tennis fun while learning the essential skills of the sport. The activities include stroke progressions, games and challenges.
​
Classes for this age group run for 30 minutes and all racquets and equipment is provided. A maximum of 5 children per court per coach ensures individual attention and development.
