‘Discover sport, balls & tennis’

Aim: to make young children enthusiastic about tennis.

Play and exercise-oriented learning to develop and promote coordination and skill. A wide range of tennis-specific exercises and basic motor patterns are taught in small groups involving lots of fun and involvement, based on clear methodological tasks (core elements of batting and throwing, lessons spanning different sport types).

‘From together to competitors’

Aim: rallies from the outset.

Playing on small and mid-courts with racquets which ‘grow with’ the children and correspond to the proportions of the body. We teach tennis with different coloured balls which bounce as appropriate for the age group, enable a clean technical game and facilitate rallies from the start.

Modern tournament and team formations support the learning and motivation of the children. .
