Youth Tennis Program with “FUN”damental TennisTennis is a life-long sport. Yet we try to teach children the game using full-size courts and racquets. Using smaller courts, slower and lower bouncing balls, and shorter racquets make the game easier. Children will have more fun by being able to rally right from the start. The more they play, the faster they will learn.

Players will learn basic tennis skills, including ball and racquet handling skills, foot work, grip technique, and basic understanding of stroke shape (i.e., loop, contact, finish). We will cover groundstrokes, forehand and backhand, volleys, serves, and how to keep score. We will play a lot of fun games along the way.

Cartooning

Your child will learn about basic design and composition as they draw the Fish Below Ice and Great Wall of China. If your child is fond of sports, they will enjoy drawing our illustration featuring a Hockey Player. Besides strengthening your child’s drawing and coloring skills, he or she will also learn about art history as we present lessons featuring master artists Leonardo Da Vinci and Franz Marc.

Our cartoon drawing lessons will stoke your child’s artistic fire. Your child will learn about exaggeration and drawing facial expressions in our lessons entitled “Cold Faces” and “Dad Expressions.” Our students will learn how to create fully realized cartoon characters by personifying cuddly polar bears in our “Cold Weather Friends” lesson. Learning to tell a story through a series of drawings will be the focus in our illustrations featuring a humorous shaving sequence.

Elementary Drawing

Young Rembrandts

The long winter months can easily lead to boredom or restlessness. We begin the season with a lesson that teaches our students about simple figure drawing as they create a snowman using basic geometric shapes. Winter-themed lessons like our mittens and penguin drawings will excite the imagination. Illustrations featuring a patterned giraffe and feathery owl will provide a great introduction to drawing animals. All this and more await your budding artist.

Pickle ball is the fastest growing sport in the nation. This mini-tennis game is a combination of Ping-Pong, tennis and badminton, played with wood and graphite paddles and unique plastic balls. It is easy to learn, provides plenty of exercise, and is played on a court smaller than a tennis court. A competitive game for experienced players, you don’t have to be strong, quick, athletic or good at other sports. You don’t need a powerful stroke because this game is not about power but of shot placement and accuracy.
