Tennis Lessons for Kids

"I'll make sure your child has the best time learning one of the best activities and sports!"

UPDATE! As of 2012...10 & Under Tennis Rules have Changed! I specialize in this!

Private and small group lessons for kids at Ivy Park courts in Louisville, MS. Starting 5/25/2012. From beginner to intermediate.

All Lessons are 1 hour. ONLY $25/lesson for individuals, and $20/lesson for a group of 2-4. Lock in these prices now and they won't change. I look forward to getting started. Only a limited number of time slots are available, so call now to reserve yours! Checks and Cash accepted.

Discount Packages Available:
5 Sessions - $118 (5% Discount) must be used within 5 weeks
10 Sessions - $225 (10% Discount) must be used within 8 weeks
20 Sessions - $425 (15% Discount) *** the Summer Special *** must be used within 12 weeks.

If you buy a package then, you have that many individual lessons coming to you - the best you can get!. If you do a group session or some other special event we offer, these things are separate. These events will not use up your paid for individual sessions in your package.

FAQ's:
1. What do we need to bring to the lesson? Always wear sunscreen, a hat or visor is highly recommended, bring water (extra water will be supplied), bring your racket with a big smile :)

2. How many lessons should my child take a week: 3 is great! 2 is good. 1 a week is doable but it's harder for the student to improve.

3. How do you get into tournaments? First, you should join the USTA at USTA.com. Next, with lessons, once your child improves to the intermediate level, then we recommend registering online for level 4 tournaments close by (Starkville, Columbus, Tupelo, Jackson).

4. What if my child wants to take lessons with a friend? GREAT! You get the same level of instruction for less! It's also more fun for your child to learn with a friend!

5. Where can I get the right kind of racket? When starting out, it's ok to use a WalMart racket as long as it's not too big. for age 6, a 19-21" racket; for ages 7-8, a 23" racket; for ages 9-10 a 25" racket. GREAT prices and reliable service are found at tenniswarehouse.com. For 10 and under, http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/USTA10andUnder/

6. Does my child need to practice outside of lessons? Absolutely! As long as it's fun! Careful not to give additional instruction that might be confusing. Please ask me what we've been working on and I can help with making sure you have a great time :)
