EARLY LEARNING TENNIS AT SCHOOL

PlayTennis will travel to your Early Learning Centre to teach tennis within your timetable, in school hours. Tennis provides many benefits for children of this age group. It promotes hand- eye coordination, gross and fine motor control and improves balance as well as developing physically active, healthy, strong, robust children.

Tennis can provide children with a strong sense of identity and a sense of belonging both at school and within their wider community, helping them to become effective communicators and confident, involved learners.
