This program is designed to give kids a fun, positive introduction to the game of tennis in a supportive and encouraging environment. Players ages 4–12 will learn the basics of tennis including simple strokes, movement, coordination, teamwork, and sportsmanship while building confidence and developing a love for the game. This course is aimed toward beginner players and focuses on learning through fun drills, games, and activities. Each session will run approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Our goal is to help keep tennis active and growing in Grafton, Ohio while creating a fun local environment for kids to learn and enjoy the sport. Modified tennis balls and adjusted court sizing will be used to better accommodate younger players and create a more enjoyable learning experience. Participants should bring a tennis racquet, tennis shoes, and a water bottle. If your child does not have a racquet, one will be provided.

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to reach out anytime to myself, Katarina Yates, at 440-310-0340 or yateskatarina@gmail.com. Thank you for your participation and support — we are excited to help keep tennis growing in Grafton and look forward to seeing everyone on the courts this summer!
