Kids’ Tennis Clubs allow children to sample tennis in a fun environment and directly support after school physical activity programming. Kids’ Tennis Clubs are specifically designed to give kids the opportunity to play in a fun, supervised format offering them the opportunity to gain confidence and meet new friends while enhancing their social and physical development. By using “right-sized” equipment, kids experience immediate success right from the start. Kids quickly begin rallying—no instruction necessary. Additionally, because no courts are required, Kids’ Tennis Clubs can be located in a variety of “open play” settings including local schools, parks, youth centers, and tennis facilities. Session participants will learn how to easily implement a Kids’ Tennis Club while experiencing first hand some fun and engaging activities and games.
