Pre-School Tennis
Give your child a fun and active introduction to tennis with friendly pre-school sessions designed for children aged 2.5 to 5 years. Through play, movement and simple tennis activities, they’ll build confidence, coordination and early skills before starting school.
Overview
Pre-school Tennis introduces young children to the basics of tennis in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. Sessions are designed for children aged 2.5 to 5 years and help develop movement skills, confidence and coordination through play.
Each session lasts 30 minutes and focuses on early tennis skills alongside agility, balance and coordination. Children will also learn how to follow instructions, take turns and work with others in a group setting.
Parents and guardians are required to join their child on court during these sessions, helping them feel supported as they take their first steps into tennis.
Pre-school Tennis costs £7 per session.
A fun first step into tennis
Pre-school Tennis is all about helping young children enjoy being active while developing the basic skills they need for tennis and other sports. Sessions use simple games, movement activities and age-appropriate coaching to help children learn through play.
Children will practise moving, balancing, throwing, catching and using a racket in a relaxed environment. The aim is to help them build confidence, listen to instructions and enjoy taking part with other children.
What to expect
During each 30-minute session, children will:
- Develop basic tennis skills through fun activities
- Improve agility, balance and coordination
- Learn how to follow instructions and take turns
- Build confidence in a small group setting
- Enjoy being active with support from a parent or guardian
Who is it for?
Pre-school Tennis is suitable for children aged 2.5 to 5 years before they start school. Sessions are ideal for children who enjoy moving, playing and trying new activities, even if they have never picked up a racket before.
Parent and guardian support
A parent or guardian must join their child on court during each session. This helps children feel settled, supported and ready to take part while they develop confidence in a new environment.
