Find Tennis Lessons
For Kids

QUESTION:

How do I find tennis lessons for kids?

ANSWER:

To actually find tennis lessons for kids, a quick search on the internet for certified tennis instructors in your area is a good start. Having done that, check out the junior tennis programs nearby, and then go along and observe the lessons. Assuming your child is a novice or beginner, the last thing you want is for his or her first tennis lesson to be unpleasant. So don’t be scared to talk to parents of kids who are involved in the programs, and ask for their feedback.

Also, make sure that the lessons involve strong elements of both fun and stimulation. This applies equally to both group lessons and individual lessons.

In the early stages, you want your child to be captivated by the sport. It’s therefore not enough to just find tennis lessons for kids, you want to find someone who makes tennis lessons something to look forward to!
