The sport is played on a smaller court with a slower ball and a paddle instead of a racket. This leads to longer rallies and your kids will learn how to PLAY tennis. Each participant will be given a 1.5 hour lesson per week for six weeks. Instructed by Jesse Gotlib, a USPTA certified tennis professional. All equipment will be provided. ***12 Spots Only***
