Physical Literacy
Physical Literacy
Physical literacy comes from developing a wide variety of fundamental movement skills such as hopping, skipping, throwing, catching and jumping. It just happens that these are key tennis skills as well. Physically literate kids have a lot more fun being active, and physically active kids get higher grades in school, have better social skills, and are happier and more confident. We do an assessment on each child during the season and track their progression to help them with the required skills to be more active.

Lessons
Our lessons are 45 minutes of progressive tennis programming, followed by 45 minutes of practice play. Our coaches use direct instruction to teach both tennis skills and our core values, while working to increase participants' physical literacy skills. Practice play happens in a team tennis format, allowing everyone to develop independently and collaboratively.
