red ball class (beginner)

Red Ball Tennis is the perfect introduction to the game for beginner players! Using larger, low-compression red tennis balls, participants learn the fundamentals of tennis in a fun, supportive, and age-appropriate environment. Players will develop basic skills such as hand-eye coordination, racket control, movement, balance, and introductory forehand and backhand techniques through engaging games and activities. No prior tennis experience is needed—just bring a positive attitude and get ready to have fun on the court!

Red Ball Tennis is a prerequisite for our Pre-Rally Tennis class, ensuring players build a strong foundation of skills and confidence before advancing to the next level of instruction.
