During these crucial toddler years, we know your child is always learning and the best way to learn is through play & fun activities, this is why each session is packed full of fun, imaginative and engaging activities and games.
The skills your child will learn during the Tennis 4 Tots sessions will encourage their development by meeting important pre-school learning objectives such as colour, number and body-part recognition; counting, socialising, following instructions and using their imagination.
Your child will find themselves in all sorts of exciting and fun scenarios, which they will want to play again and again!
Class are split into three age groups, 1-2 year old's (Mini Tot Aces), 18 month-3 year old's (Mini Aces) and 3-5 year old's (Aces).
Mini Tot Aces (1-2 year old's)
This session is designed to be a fun and interactive way of introducing 1 year old's to ball games and activities. Teaching them balance, agility co-ordination, fine motor skills and hand eye co-ordination. This session also gives children the opportunity to socialise with other children and work as part of a team. All sessions are held indoors.

Meet Natalie Griffiths
I started playing mini tennis (previously known as short tennis) from the age of 5, and instantly decided this was the sport for me. I quickly progressed and was invited to join and compete for the Cambridgeshire County Tennis squad. During the evening you would find me training on a tennis court and most weekends I would be playing matches against other Counties or in competitions.
Having had 2 active children, I noticed the absence of toddler groups that focused on sport and would help burn off the excess toddler energy.
So, I decided to make the move from player to coach and have taken an LTA coaching qualification as well as a Tennis For Kids course, the LTA Safeguarding & Protection in Tennis course and the Emergency First Aid at Work course. I also have an Enhanced DBS certificate.
