8 & Under Academy

About the program

We have created a complete program where young children can thrive, enjoy and develop into confident young athletes and tennis players. Our goal is to inspire, but not overwhelm as we build lifelong tennis players. We gradually introduce them to the sport of tennis by using a fun, positive and safe learning environment. Here, they learn and play on courts and with equipment “right sized” for them.

We have established 3 levels based on age and skill to ensure kids are MATCHED in the correct class. Our program entails group lessons competition opportunities for all levels. We believe that when young kids start to play the game, they connect to the sport quicker and learning makes sense.

Our Philosophy

We put an empahisis of the child at the heart of everything we do and passionate about sharing this great sport with our players. All our coaches are trained on the ways that young children learn and develop and then use this knowledge to teach tennis more effectively. Skills being taught in our program, translates way beyond the court and into all areas of their lives. We consider ourselves experts in tennis and young kids.

ENGAGING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

We provide a positive, fun and safe learning environment for kids to develop and grow into confident tennis players and athletes. Our engaging and hands on approach proves to make them play this sport from the start. Your child will learn from a curriculum that is build for his/her age group.

LIFE SKILLS

We believe that tennis is more than just a game and provides an opportunity to teach kids important LIFE skills, such as competing, problem solving, overcoming adversity, setting and achieving goals and dealing with success and failure. We also created a reward system to help instill these principles, this builds character and gives them a whole rounded experience.

COMPETITION

We believe that when young kids start to play the game, they connect to the sport quicker and learning makes sense. We have created plenty of opportunities for kids, as this gives them an opportunity to play the sport in addition to their lessons.
