The activity

Tennis, explained

Tennis coaching for kids teaches racket control, footwork, hand-eye coordination and the basic strokes - forehand, backhand, serve - through drills and mini-games suited to a child's size and age. Younger children often start on modified courts with softer balls and shorter racquets so they can rally and score points early, building confidence before moving to a full-size court. As kids progress, lessons add tactics, fitness and match play. Most coaches offer private, semi-private (paired) or small-group formats, and structured lessons typically start from around age 4, with intensity and format adjusted as a child grows.

Who it's for

All ages and levels, from beginners with no experience to seasoned competition players; children and adults, including a parents-and-kids package on request. Formats: private (1-to-1), semi-private (2 players) and groups of 3 or 4, with 5+ groups on request.

What to expect

You request lessons through the booking form on the website, choosing your child's level, a package and the venues that suit you (Dubai College, Arabian Ranches 1 or 2 for residents, or a court you have access to), and what to focus on: technique, more hitting, match play or fitness. Sessions last 45 minutes or an hour. Rackets are provided if your child doesn't have one yet. Payment is in advance, private and semi-private coaching is charged in sets of five, and cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice by text. No trial lesson is published - ask the provider.
