Sports Beijing Mini -Tennis Program

Fall 2009

If you are aged 4 to 8 and dream of becoming the next Roger Federer or Ana Ivanovic get started now with the Sports Beijing Mini-Tennis Program. Mini-Tennis is sized for lower elementary and preschool players who use a child-sized mini tennis racquet to hit a “bigger, softer” mini-tennis ball on a badminton size court that has a lower net. Young players make more consistent contact with the ball and get a sense of tennis faster than on a regulation tennis court. Qualified coaches teach the fundamentals of tennis through fun drills that keep players interested in coming back! So even if you are never ranked world #1, it’s a great way to develop an interest in a sport you can enjoy for a lifetime!!! Players provide their own racquet. Racquets can be ordered in advance for RMB 200 and will be available before first class. If you need a racquet please indicate this on the sign-up form.
