Tennis and Pickleball
ASP Vendor Name: SBA Tennis and Pickleball
Program Volunteer Chair: Shani Dotan
Description:
Students will learn and play both tennis and pickleball in a supportive and fun environment. For both portions of this program, we use portable nets set up on blacktops, creating a versatile playing surface. Our goal is to inspire a love for both sports and encourage students to continue their journeys on real tennis and pickleball courts.
In the tennis portion of the program, students will develop their skills by utilizing low compression tennis balls, specifically designed to enhance learning for beginners. Through a variety of interactive games and activities, students will improve their hand-eye coordination, footwork, and overall technique while having a blast! It’s important to note that most of the students in these classes may have limited exposure to tennis, making this program an ideal starting point. We do have loaner rackets available to borrow, but recommend kids to have their own to practice outside of class. We offer recommendations based on age groups: 21 inches for ages 4-6, 23 inches for ages 6-8, 25 inches for ages 8-10, and 26 inches for ages>11.
In addition to tennis, students will also have the opportunity to experience the exciting game of pickleball. This fast-paced and inclusive sport combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, providing a unique and enjoyable playing experience. We do have some loaner paddles available to borrow, but recommend kids to have their own to practice outside of class.
Students will be separated into groups based on grade level/age.
