FAQs

What age can my child start?
As soon as they are steady on their feet (about 14 months). Tennis Tots runs from walking age to about 5, then children move up to Tennis Titans.
Do we need a racket?
No. We have rackets and all the equipment. Just bring yourselves, comfy clothes to move about in and trainers. If you have your own racket and want to bring it, great!
Can both our children come to the same class?
Yes, and we have a sibling discount. If there is a big age gap it can help to split them so they are playing with children their own age.
What if we sign up and then want to stop?
No problem. Everyone starts with two free trial sessions, with no obligation. If you come back later, we offer another trial.
Do you have anything near me?
See all our venues and sessions on Summit Tennis. We are growing and always looking for new venues, so tell us where you would like one.
Do parents join in?
Yes. A grown-up joins in with Tots, helping their little one along and having fun too.
