• Mini Tennis (Red Ball): 19”–21” racquet
• Orange Ball: 23” racquet

The correct racquet size will also depend on the athlete’s height. Our coaches are happy to guide you in selecting the best fit.

For MINI TENNIS Parents:

Yes. Private and semi-private lessons are available for players who would like extra coaching or a more personalized training experience

This is very common! Our coaches are experienced in making children feel comfortable. We introduce them gradually and pair them with players at a similar level to build confidence.

For steady progress, 1–2 lessons per week is ideal. Players who wish to advance faster may consider additional private lessons or multiple weekly sessions

Coaches provide feedback throughout the program. You’re welcome to speak with your child’s coach for updates on progress and areas of focus.

Coaches are trained in first aid and safety protocols. We ensure a safe environment, and any minor injuries are attended to immediately.
