PRO Tennis Academy is a Dubai tennis academy for kids and adults with courts across the city, from Al Safa and Jumeirah 1 to Oud Metha and the indoor courts at Port Rashid. Juniors follow a staged pathway set out on the academy's kids programme page: Red Ball for ages 3-7, then Orange Ball (7+), Green Ball (10+) and Hard Ball (12+), with coaches using age as a starting point and adjusting to each child's progress. Daily group classes keep a 4:1 player-to-coach ratio and run in 15-week terms with five tournaments per group each term. There are also private one-to-one lessons from age 4, a High Performance Squad for players aiming to compete, and a Sunday Squad for ages 4-14 held in Umm Suqeim. Children who have never played can book a free 15-minute trial, racquets are provided for lessons, and the academy publishes its session prices online. Ask the academy which junior groups and times run at the branch you pick.

The activity

Tennis, explained

Tennis builds footwork, hand-eye coordination and racket control, and kids' coaching usually starts on a smaller court with a softer, slower-bouncing ball so rallies happen from the first lesson. Children move through colour-coded stages - red ball for the youngest beginners, then orange and green ball as their swing, movement and rally length develop - before switching to a full-size court and the standard yellow ball. Lessons mix fun movement games with stroke technique and simple point play, and many children start somewhere between three and five. Weekly group classes are the usual way in, with private lessons and junior tournaments added for kids who want more.

Who it's for

Children from age 3, grouped by stage: Red Ball (3-7), Orange Ball (7+), Green Ball (10+) and Hard Ball (12+), with complete beginners welcome. Private coaching is listed from age 4, the Sunday Squad (Umm Suqeim) is for ages 4-14, and the High Performance Squad is for advanced players who want to compete.

What to expect

Children new to tennis can start with a free 15-minute trial. Set it up by WhatsApp, phone (+971 58 687 2335) or email, and say which venue you want. Racquets are provided for lessons, so there is nothing to buy first. A standard coaching session lasts an hour, and 45-minute sessions can also be booked. Group classes run in 15-week terms, and packages are valid for 15 weeks from purchase. All sessions are prepaid, and cancellations or no-shows within 24 hours are charged in full. Ask the provider which days junior groups run at your venue.
