Yorkville Tennis - Instruction

Youth Instruction
Experts consider tennis the best first sport for children because of the wide array of skill sets that cross over to other sports. Running, catching, striking, 3-step movement patterns, aerobic, anaerobic, team building and the ability to play the sport for a lifetime will undoubtedly enhance your child’s interest in sport.

Our youth tennis program applies the Theory of Graduated Length Instruction employed in most sports. Rackets, nets, and courts are all modified to the appropriate sizes for maximum control and lasting form development. Experienced instructors employ positive reinforcement to garner improvement that will give your child the opportunity to a lifetime of enjoyment of this wonderful sport.
