Introduction to Tennis:

These lessons are for children ages 5 - 12 years old, with no tennis experience, or some previous exposure to the sport through group, private or summer camp lessons. In these lessons, the focus will be on developing a solid foundation in stroke formation to provide the child with the skills to progress rapidly. Through a variety of racquet and foot work drills for the basic strokes, serve, and volleys, the players will develop the positive habits necessary to hit the ball correctly and consistently, with good form and good technique, in an active, yet progressive learning method. The lessons will also include an introduction to the volley and the serve, plus stretching and strengthening drills, some running drills, and hand-eye coordination games. Similar to all other lessons, a positive attitude and good sportsmanship is encouraged.
