Tiny Stars Information - Tue/Thu - 3:30-4:15 - $15/session

  • A great drop-in program to help you new players get a great start to tennis!  We do ask parents to have consistency in coming if at all possible.  Please let us know if you plan to come both Tue and Thu, or just once a week, etc.  Our goal is 4-6 players per coach - so we can add a second/third coach when we get higher numbers.
  • We provide the balls, and if you don't have a racquet yet, we have loaner racquets and at your first session, we can tell you what size to purchase when you're ready.  (generally $20 at Walmart/Sports Academy/etc.)
  • We separate the 4-5 yrs and 6-7 yr olds.  Our 4-5s use the Large Red Tennis Balls with a small tennis net.  Our 6-7s use orange dot balls and the standard tennis net.
