Junior Class Information

Tots Tennis

Tots Tennis is for players aged between 2-3 years. These classes introduce children to tennis through games and fun activities. Children develop their fundamental motor skills; throw, run, catch, jump and most importantly, tracking using lots of adapted equipment such as balloons, big balls and beanbags. Often, Tots sessions are held indoors in spaces more suited to small people.
