Designed for our youngest players, with little or no exposure to tennis. This program runs year round, from the 1st to 28th of each month. To get a feel of what this program looks like, please view our photo gallery at the bottom of this page.

Please make sure to note the changes: in day's and hours of operation monthly or seasonal, number of classes per week offered, rate differences etc. as you sign up for classes. For your convenience the schedule for a full year has been created in advance, with children's wake up time, parent and child's work and school schedule and day light savings time changes in mind.

This class begins with the introduction to the very basic skills of tennis. Starting with proper grip introduction for forehand, backhand, and volleys and correct form, using regular tennis balls.
Games are then introduced using big yellow "scoop it up" balls, which allows for higher success rate in making contact with the ball. This allows for even a very beginner to play comfortably and enjoy the game of tennis, without realizing their progress on their technical skills, with correct form. Main emphasis is on having lots of fun, while playing a lot of fun games that, all benefit the hand eye coordination required in tennis. Once the instructor sees a big improvement in skill level they move to Mini Star 2.

At the end of a season (3 month tennisbuddys sessions) they get a little gift for their hard work.
The instructor always emphasizes that a student's biggest reward is their progress (no matter how small or big). Learning the game of tennis, imporving current skills, or whatever it maybe, the appreciation and love for the game itself is a big achievement, for every individual child!
