PTI Kids

PTI Kids U12 follow a kids’ tennis program that allows them to learn the game of tennis with smaller courts, nets, rackets, and slower balls. This adapted approach allows the players to develop essential skills and techniques which are game-orientated, age-appropriate, and child friendly. 

PTI offers the following term programs as group lessons. All classes are adapted to the child’s ability and growth. Every child is unique and their development depends on their individual progress; therefore, the group classes below might be adapted and the age range could vary.

Tiny Moppets | Ages 3-5

Introduction to fun games and activities which enhance the fundamental skills of coordination, agility, balance, movement, racket, and ball skills. The little ones play on smaller courts with mini nets using sponge balls which are double the size of a regular tennis ball.  

Red Monkeys | Ages 5-8

Red players play with a slower and bigger red felt ball on a smaller court where they learn to serve, rally and score. In addition, they learn the fundamental movement and coordination skills needed for tennis. During the group classes, players are encouraged to play fun competitions and games in teams and as individuals.  

Orange Tigers | Ages 8-9

Orange players play with a low compression ball (50% slower) and on a bigger court, but not on a full-size court yet. Players develop a rounded game; they continue to improve their movement and coordination skills, learn a range of technical skills, and will be introduced to the tactical aspect of the game. General tennis and match rules are also slowly introduced and put into practice.

Green Monsters | Ages 9-12

Green players on a full size court, but still with a low compression ball (25% slower). This ball doesn’t bounce as high as a normal tennis ball and is also recommended for starter adults. The players continue to develop their fundamental movement, technical and tactical skills and put these abilities into practice during games and match practice.
