Description
Tennis Academy for Kids Ages 5 – 8 yrs.
What makes tennis for kids at the Mike Van Zutphen Tennis Academy so Great?

We use an exciting NEW play format for learning tennis. It is designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing specialized equipment (racquets, balls and net height).
Specialized Equipment for Kids
Shorter Court Dimensions
Rackets That Fit Kids Hands
Slow-Bounce Tennis Balls
Shorter court dimensions and modified scoring all tailored to age and size. Kids can start playing at a very early age. Balls bounce lower, don’t move as faster through the air, and are easier to hit.
Ideal for 5-8 Year Olds
Kids Learn the Fundamentals
Kids Play Real Tennis
More Fun and Less Frustration

This program is designed to introduce tennis to children ages 5 to 8, with activities chosen to match their
age, physical size, and ability. Kids will be grouped according to their skill level.
• Beginners will learn basic strokes and practice fundamentals in a low stress, fun environment.
• Intermediate players will learn strokes, footwork, approach volleys, overheads and serving.
• Advanced players will focus on serving, strategy, and court positioning, with an emphasis on
building rallies, point playing and possibly becoming tournament ready.
We stress positive attitude, good sportsmanship, and fun to promote a lifelong interest in the sport.
Our Tennis Program will Help Kids
- Enhancement of social and behavioral skills
- Boosts self-confidence and self-assurance
- Builds team leadership skills
Improves balance and hand-eye coordination
