JUNIOR TENNIS STARTER PROGRAM
(AGES 3-5)
There is simply no other sport that improves children's sporting skills like tennis. Coordination, movement, balance, hitting and catching - the essential skills that are the foundation of sport, not to mention decision-making, mental focus (and even grit).
And that's why our JUNIOR TENNIS STARTER PROGRAM is specifically designed for children aged 3-5 - it makes tennis fun while incorporating these essential skills. Skills which are developed progressively and, at the right level for each child.
​
​
Classes run for 30 minutes and we provide all racquets and equipment. There is a maximum of 5 children per court .

JUNIOR PROGRAM FAQ'S.
At what age should my child start tennis?
The tennis starter program provides a basic and fun introduction to tennis and a host of sports that involve hitting, catching, throwing and moving. Whilst there is no best age to start tennis, it is one of the few sports where children can have fun and develop confidence and competency in the basic fundamentals of sport.
