Youth Match Play Tennis- Ages 8-10
Youth / SUMMER Sports & Fitness / Tennis -
Summer 2023
A FREE T-SHIRT FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS! The goal of this class is to get kids playing actual tennis matches as soon as possible. The purpose is NOT to distinguish between winning and losing, but to help kids further develop both their tennis skills and their athleticism while playing against others of a similar ability level. Each class will consist of a warm-up and skill development portion focused on improving their rallying capabilities and approximately 30 minutes of playing singles and/or doubles matches. The match play portion will incorporate a modified court setup developed by the United States Tennis Association for kids within this age group. In addition, equipment designed specifically for this age group will be used. Please bring your appropriately sized tennis racket and a water bottle.
If necessary, the rainout days will be July 31 and August 4, 7, and 11.
Weather line is 952-556-8866
