What is Kids' Tennis?
Kids Tennis introduces the sport of tennis in a fun and interactive way and ensures immediate success for young players. Using modified tennis balls, racquets, nets and courts, young players are properly equipped to enjoy rallies and learn the fundamentals of the game early on. Skills are developed much quicker, allowing for an easy transition to full court. Tennis Canada fully endorses Kids Tennis and is developing programs and competitive structures across the country to give more players the opportunity to experience its positive benefits.
The club offers group lessons for kids aged 6 - 12. Our instructors are experienced in Tennis Canada's Kids Tennis teaching methods and equipment. For kids ready to play, we also offer Rogers Community Team Tennis, a Tennis Canada program.
