Children’s tennis courses
Help your little ones get active with our range of tennis trainings and lessons for children. We also have a range of short courses and sessions to keep them moving during school holidays. Below are our regular children’s tennis sessions:
Teddy Tennis
Best for: Ages 2-5
Combining music, games, pictures, interactive play and a cast of friendly teddy characters, Teddy Tennis gets your little ones active on the court. During these kids tennis sessions, your child will get to know the characters and learn skills in a fun and playful environment. Less focused on the gameplay, Teddy Tennis is more of a casual introduction to the sport, building your child’s confidence and social skills.
Teddy Tennis is currently available at:
Clissold Leisure Centre, Hackney | Sobell Leisure Centre, Islington | Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre, Camden (Book at centre) | Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre, Waltham Forest
