Tennis for Kids Ages 2 to 8
Who we are
TennisKids is a leader in youth tennis development and instruction for children ages 2 to 8. Inspired by the Montessori philosophy, we create a teaching environment that respects each child's natural and psychological development. We teach tennis fundamentals through games and child-friendly activities, building a real love for the game while developing skills that last a lifetime.
Our program is USTA certified and was one of the first to teach on a 20 ft by 20 ft court using equipment built specifically for young children. We provide the court, racquets, balls, and all course materials. All your child needs is a pair of comfortable running shoes and a smile.
How The Program Works
On-campus program
Classes are held on school grounds, so your child stays in a safe, familiar place.
Small class sizes
A 6-to-1 student to instructor ratio keeps kids focused and engaged.
Dedicated instructors
Consistent instructors build comfort and familiarity with the kids.
Montessori-based curriculum
Our lessons use the three-period lesson and support individualized learning, consistent with the Montessori approach.
Tennis education
Kids learn safety, terminology, positioning, grips, and strokes through fun, active games.
Progress reporting
Instructors evaluate each child individually. Results are recorded and shared with a certificate and a tennis grip.
Easy online account
Parents manage registrations, payments, renewals, and updates from one simple dashboard.
Session schedule
Three 10-week sessions during the school year, each with ten 30-minute weekly classes. Many schools add a summer session too.
