Young Folks Tennis: Pathway to Match Play
Winston-Salem Tennis, Inc. is proud to announce our newly revamped Young Folks Tennis Program: Pathway to Match Play!
​
Targeted for children ages 8-12+ and sold as a 12-week program (90 minute sessions), this course teaches juniors basic tennis skills, point play, and entry-level match play.
Juniors should complete the program able to play a beginner level match (with assistance). This program is geared toward total newcomers to tennis or juniors at the beginner level. ​
The goal of the 12-week class format (vs previous 4-week programs) is to increase the likelihood that the juniors will continue playing tennis.
Each 12-week session is $100.
