Learn: Tiny Tots
Ages 4 & 5
Begin your kids' love of tennis early with our Tiny Tots program! These 45 minute classes are the perfect length for the attention span of young kids, and both help improve their hand-eye coordination and begin teaching them the basics of tennis. Basic strokes, coordination, and fun games are the focus of this class.
Month long classes run September through May/June. During the summer months, we offer week-long summer camps. Find more details on summer camps below!
