Red Ball Tennis coaching for kids 5-8yrs+

Our Red Ball program is specially crafted for young learners aged 5-8 years and up to explore the world of tennis in a vibrant, engaging environment. Designed with scaled-down settings, this program introduces and nurtures tennis-specific skills, basic strategies, and the excitement of a rally.

Our young athletes play with a larger red ball that ensures ease and comfort, as it bounces lower than a regular tennis ball, allowing even the littlest players to hit with confidence.

Join us for an experience filled with fun, friendship, and game-based learning!
