Tennis
A racket sport of strokes, footwork and tactics, played singles or doubles.
Who it's for
Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway.
Beginners often start with slower balls and smaller courts so they can rally sooner.
