Kids, Inc. Learn to Play Sessions
Kids, Incorporated and the Alex O'Brien Foundation are excited to announce that they are teaming up to provide tennis at an affordable cost to the children and families of the Texas Panhandle! The registration fee is $50. This includes 4 program dates, a shirt, a new tennis racket for the child to keep, and an end-of-year medal.
All equipment will be provided at each training session. Kids, Incorporated tennis will focus on teaching the basics of the sport to children.
Beginners are taught the following tennis skills using fun, game-like format:
• Proper racket techniques
• Serve and volley instruction
• Scoring and court etiquette
Advanced players are separated into small teams. The team coach or parent volunteer will help the team with individual skills, game play, and tournament format. The last two Saturday sessions will include tournament style competition among the teams.
Training groups will be formed in the following groups:
• Kindergarten - 1st Grade 9:00am - 10:00am
• 2nd Grade - 3rd Grade 10:15 am - 11:15 am
