"Kids Tennis" aka Progressive Tennis

Progressive Tennis is considered by Tennis Canada and the International Tennis Federation to be the most effective and practical way to teach tennis to kids aged 3-10 years old. It scales down the game by using a smaller court, larger and lighter balls, lighter racquets and shorter nets. Our experienced coaches will be fully implementing Progressive Tennis in our youth programming and summer tennis camps this season to provide kids with the most enjoyable tennis experience possible.
