Introduction to Tennis with Red Ball – Ideal for children aged 4-6

Set your children on the fast track to mastering tennis with our Red Ball program. This specially designed program is all about teaching tennis fundamentals in a fun and engaging way. Thanks to our innovative “sized right” approach, we make learning more accessible by using pickleball courts and age-appropriate racquets, nets, and balls.

With these modifications, your children can quickly pick up the sport, enjoy the process, and experience immediate success. To add to the excitement, we award stickers, star charts, and prizes after every session, ensuring that each child feels a sense of achievement and is keen to continue learning.

The program runs twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, from 4:30 pm to 5:15 pm. Enrollments are open in five-week batches, with the next session starting on August 19. Secure your child’s place now and introduce them to the thrill and joy of tennis.
