What is the Sparks program?
Sparks players are boys and girls ages 4-7 who are new to tennis. They may have had a few lessons, but do not yet have a solid grasp of racket swing technique, footwork, balance, or rally skills. Players are introduced to a solid foundation of swing technique and simple movement skills under the watchful eye of Henry and Susan. Each one-week long Sparks session has a maximum of 6 children, to ensure high quality, focused instruction. Both members and non-members can register.
