Benefits of learning tennis at the sports club "Kolomensky"
How are children's tennis lessons going?
Under the guidance of an experienced coach, the child from the very first lessons:
- learn the correct positioning of hands when playing;
- recognizes all the main blows;
- play tutorial mini-matches.
Our employees find an approach to each young athlete, even in group training. Children enjoy going to classes and are often ready to study more than the allotted time. The coach necessarily discusses with the parents the purpose of the training, takes into account the level of load depending on age, experience and physical fitness.
At what age is it better to start training?
If you want to raise a professional athlete, it is better to start at an early age. We accept children from the age of 4 to the tennis school. Classes are held in a fun way, so kids really like it. More serious preparation begins at the age of 6-7, when the child already understands the meaning of such lessons.
However, we accept children of all ages to teach tennis. If classes are of interest to you mainly as a way of sports and intellectual development, but you are not going to make a pro out of a child, you can start classes at any time.
How many times a week should you exercise?
At the age of 4 years, 2-3 workouts per week are enough for children, and from the age of 9 it is advisable to visit them 3-5 times (depending on the purpose of the visit). This is a serious, but feasible load for a young athlete, since the intensity is accurately calculated by the coach.
What training programs are available at the center?
Tennis training for children in Moscow on the basis of our sports club is possible according to a group or individual program.
If parents dream of raising a professional athlete, they cannot do without training with an experienced coach. But usually it is advisable to start them only from 10 years.
2-4 students participate in group lessons. Children are grouped according to age, experience and abilities. So the guys feel more comfortable among their peers and learn to develop a spirit of healthy competition.
What do you need to start learning?
To learn tennis, you will need: rackets with a short handle and a large head. It is not necessary to buy expensive inventory, as it breaks quickly. Moreover, some amateur rackets are much easier to control. But on sports shoes you should not save. It should fit exactly in size and not give a large load on the ankle.
Schedule and cost
Our tennis club is open 7 days a week from 7 am to 11 pm. You can sign up for classes at any convenient time. The cost of teaching tennis to children depends on the number of people in the group, the number of visits per week, the time you choose and the category of the coach (category 1 or 2).

How are tennis lessons for kids?
In our tennis school for children, the main principle is an individual approach, even in group lessons. Someone sets a goal for their child to become a professional, for someone tennis is just a useful and extremely interesting activity. Therefore, the degree of load and intensity is determined by the coach.
All training sessions are conducted in accordance with the Tennis 10s program implemented by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). You can familiarize yourself with it in detail.
Main features of the program
- Trainings are held in small groups
- For training with children, smaller rackets and special soft balls are used.
- During training, additional equipment is actively used, which allows you to develop not only skills in handling a racket, but also to improve your physical shape and develop the motor apparatus, coordination and flexibility.
What will the child get from playing tennis?
By training in the tennis section for children, your child will receive:
- Benefit for health
Playing tennis for children brings great benefits to the health of the child. Since the activity during training is very high, the exercises contribute to the development of the entire muscle corset, all muscle groups are involved, and the correct posture is formed. Not to mention strength and endurance. - Benefits for study
The competitive style of training not only encourages the child to take action, but also develops the spirit of competition, the desire to achieve goals. All this creates excellent conditions for tempering character. Young athletes achieve victories not only in training, but also in the educational process. - Communication and new acquaintances
Expanding a child's social circle is one of the most important stages of social development. In tennis lessons, children not only learn new movements, but also actively interact. Many students make new friends
What is the best age to start playing tennis?
The official opinion of the Global Tennis school for children is that it is better to start playing tennis at the age of 5 years. This age is optimal in order to start serious preparation for future competitions.
If you do not aim to raise a professional athlete, then age is not so important, and you can send your child to tennis later, because in addition to sports victories, children get tremendous pleasure from playing and communicating with peers. Tennis training for children takes place in a relaxed atmosphere that promotes all-round development.
Do I need to buy special equipment for the child?
For training children, special models of rackets with a shortened handle and a large head are used. We took care of all the inventory - we have rackets of all sizes for any age. However, if the child wants to play tennis on a regular basis, we recommend buying a personal racket, be sure to consult with the coach.
How many times a week should you exercise?
Undoubtedly, it all depends on the level of preparation of the child and the goals set. But we recommend training children at least 2 times a week so that the child does not lag behind peers in skills and does not have to “catch up” with them.
