Red Ball Lessons

While playing on a 36 foot court, kids learn and practice the skills necessary to rally and play the game of tennis. Our emphasis is focused on the FUNdamentals of the game, while pulling from skills that translate in many areas of general sports. Examples of these skills are: handling the racquet and hitting the ball with sound technique, coordination, balance, agility, reaction, jumping, skipping, throwing, catching, and tracking. Within this class, students will be offered “leveled” challenges to be sure they are engaged with activities that keep them learning and growing at their own pace.

Age Guideline: 4–7 years old
Class Length: 60 minutes

Orange Ball Lessons
