Pre-Play Tennis
The programs are directed for beginners or
players who do not quite yet have the skills
to play a match. Each pre-play program has an
innovative detailed curriculum complete with
progressive drills, games, and in the 8-14 age
range, skill tests. The Pre-play programs try
to maintain a teacher/student ratio of 1:5 to
ensure individual attention and quality.
