FALL SCHEDULE: September 8th - November 1st, 2020

FALL 2 Schedule: November 2nd - December 20th, 2020

All our lessons use the system of modified courts and balls designed by Tennis Canada for the age and/or skill level of the players. Scale appropriate training is used by many other sports (e.g. T-Ball, Mini-soccer, etc.) which makes learning the game easier and allows kids to begin competing immediately.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Players learn basic rally, serve and net play skills along with activities that build tennis specific coordination. Rules of play and “I am a Good Sport” behaviours are also introduced.
