10-and-Under Tennis
We're excited to offer 10-and-Under Tennis with the Charlotte Tennis Association this spring! This program is designed to provide a positive, fun introdcution to the game for girls and boys ages 6-10. The 10-and-Under Tennis play format takes a new and better approach to introducing kids to the game. Balls are lower in compression; they bounce lower and don't move as fast so they are easier to hit. This allows kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing patterns. Registration begins February 27.
Learn more about this new program here.
