Mini Tennis

Mini Tennis is a fun, inclusive and structured introduction to tennis for children aged 3 to 10.

Using smaller courts, lower-bouncing balls and age-appropriate equipment, Mini Tennis helps children learn the game in a way that is enjoyable, accessible and suited to their stage of development. It is a great way for young players to build confidence, develop skills, make friends and enjoy being active.
