What Is 10&Under Tennis?
It’s Easier Than Ever To Get In The Game. Tennis is fun and accessible to kids and families everywhere.
- Your child will enjoy playing with balls that bounce lower and move slower through the air, making them easier to hit.
- Racquets are sized for small hands, making them easier to grip and swing.
- Courts are smaller, so kids can cover them and have more success when they play.
- Kids have more fun—and want to play more often.
- Tennis is a sport that gets kids moving, improves balance, agility and hand-eye coordination, and can teach self-confidence and self-assurance.
- Playing tennis, your child can make new friends in a safe, supportive environment.
- Your whole family can play together anywhere–driveways, gyms and playgrounds can all be transformed into your very own tennis court.
By getting your kids into the game you’ll be opening a door to a lifetime of enjoyment!
