Children have a great capacity to learn and typically pick up new skills quickly. It is therefore advantageous to learn to play tennis at a young age, as they will grow up to have a solid foundation in a sport that can be enjoyed for life.

Our coaches will introduce tennis in a fun and engaging way. We will build your kid’s interest in tennis through meaningful activities that train hand-eye coordination, balance, and agility. Your child will feel a sense of pride from being able to hit his or her first ball over the net!

Most importantly, we have a philosophy of developing the characters of the kids we coach. The lessons they learn on the tennis court will help them grow personally. We want to teach them the right attitudes on and off the court, so that these positive values can help shape their character.

We hope to instil the habit of exercise and focus through the sport. Kids have boundless energy and our tennis coaches will be channeling all their energy in a positive way.

Our instructors understand that every child is unique and will progress differently. We will interact with all kids with patience and motivate them to perform to the best of their abilities.

At Play! Tennis, we are committed to providing the kids we teach with the best on court experience by equipping them with the proper tennis fundamentals, ensuring that they develop modern tennis skills.

Our curriculum employs modern child pedagogy so you can be assured your kid receives the most effective tennis coaching.

The Play! Tennis curriculum was developed in consultation with certified tennis coaches, sports psychologists and child-care professionals. It covers the physical and mental aspects of the game.

We use age appropriate equipment such as smaller-sized rackets, bigger and slower balls, and make use of a smaller court space. Your kids will start with simple hand-eye coordination drills such as throwing and catching the balls with their hands before moving on to use their rackets to bounce and hit the balls.

Our instructors teach the mental aspects of tennis. This essentially refers to the ability to remain focused during the game and not be distracted by other sights and sounds.

We utilize a combination of outdoor and indoor activities in our camps so that your kid can get a healthy does of Vitamin D under the sun and also enjoy the comforts of indoor games as well.

For us, tennis is more than just a game. It is an activity that serves to impart many of life’s lessons. Your kid will learn important life skills. Our team of instructors use tennis as a vehicle to impart three core values to your child: concentration, confidence and integrity.

Let’s examine how learning to play tennis can lead to the development of these three core values.

Much concentration is needed in tennis because we need to anticipate the path that the ball is travelling towards us in order to hit the shot properly. We are constantly tracking the ball with our eyes and trying to anticipate where it will land on our side of the court, so that we can move early and position ourselves well. If we have a lapse in concentration we will find ourselves out of position and being late for the shot.

It is challenging to hit the tennis ball well, as this requires hand-eye coordination and practice. However, once your child begins hitting more balls over the net, this builds a sense confidence. Children will be encouraged to believe that they can find success in other aspects of life once they put their minds to mastering a skill.

Like any other sports, tennis has a set of rules that all players have to abide by. Kids have to observe these rules whilst trying to win matches. This is how integrity is developed: when the kids play with honesty and accept losses in their stride.
