REGISTRATION FOR OUR SUMMER SESSION CAN BE FOUND HERE!
Spring 2017 (13 Week) Session: April 3 - June 30
REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW - CALL OUR WELCOME DESK AT 902-423-3682
All our lessons use the “Progressive Tennis” system of modified courts and balls designed by Tennis Canada for the age and/or skill level of the players. Scale appropriate learning is used by many other sports (e.g. T-Ball, Mini-soccer, etc.). Tennis is learned faster and easier through this system.
RED BALL: This program introduces the foundational skills of tennis with an oversized low-compression ball on a smaller court. Players learn basic rally, serve and net play skills along with activities that build tennis specific coordination. Rules of play and “I am a Good Sport” behaviours are also introduced.
Sunday 9am - 10am
******************************************************************************************************************************************
ORANGE BALL: This program is played on a ¾ size court with a low-compression ball. Players learn how to serve, rally, score and play
at the net. “I am a Good Sport” behaviours are reinforced. Players learn to maintain a rally when receiving more challenging shots,
serve with improved placement, approach the net, and place volleys.
