Mini Tennis

What we train on court.

01

Coordination and movement

Running, jumping, throwing, catching: we build the movement foundations that tennis and every other sport rely on.

02

First strokes

Rallies, forehand and backhand with low-compression balls and suitable rackets: everything scaled to the child.

03

Play and rules

The rules come in through play: keeping score, waiting your turn, celebrating a team-mate.

04

Independence and confidence

Every child needs to feel capable. Those first small wins build the desire to come back on court.

How it works

The path, step by step.

  1. First lesson

    The child steps on court with one of our coaches: no tests, just play and observation.

  2. Joining a group

    We choose the right group for age and movement skills, so everyone grows at their own pace.

  3. Red, Orange, Green pathway

    Court, balls and goals grow with the child, following FITP standards.

  4. First events on court

    Small themed meetings where the score matters less than the smile at the end of the day.

«At five you do not teach tennis: you make a child fall in love with the court.»

Mariano Castillo — Maestro Nazionale FITP
