Little ACES: Online Pre-School Tennis Program for Ages 2-5

About Course

Little ACES is a pre-school aged (2 – 5 years) program to help inspire children to learn through play and imagination. The focus is on developing basic movement (locomotion), striking and ball related skills (throw and catch) as well as reinforcing essential pre-school learning skills. For example, counting, collecting, letters, colours and numbers. You are only limited by your imagination.

Providing the players with colour-in sheets are the end of every third session is another great way to engage the children. Parents are encouraged to do the activities with the children. Please note that this program was originally designed for a company in TEXAS, hence the journey based themes are tailored for this environment.

The ball is in your court.
