If you’re looking to introduce your child to a sport, tennis is a great option.

Tennis provides countless physical benefits for children. It develops their hand-eye coordination, balance and body coordination, all the while building strength, agility and flexibility. Tennis also promotes overall good health in children – improved bone strength and density, and a robust immune system.

Children who play tennis develop skills and strategies that will also serve them well in life off the court.

When playing tennis, children learn to accept responsibility for their actions, decisions and mistakes. They learn to respond to adversity, adapt to different situations and environments, and deal with stress. Both in practice and competitive environments, tennis fosters work ethic, discipline, and sportsmanship in children, and hones their problem solving skills.

Tennis also fosters social skills – children learn about the importance of teamwork when playing doubles, and benefit from the necessary communication with singles opponents before, during and after matches.

Above all else - it's fun!  Check out our coaching section for juniors here.
