Welcome to Little Tennis
The way to create your future tennis stars
Little Tennis is the nation's tennis equivalent to Little League Baseball, soccer or basketball. It is intended to "Bring everyone together" who loves the game of tennis. It also is designed to be totally inclusive and supportive of all other children’s programs, organizations, activities and companies within the tennis industry.
Little Tennis is an extremely powerful toolbox for those who wish to play, promote or teach tennis. It uniquely caters to teachers, parents, kids, and program organizers. It not only helps children learn the game but also their parents and grandparents. The contributions in this Web site come from many great teachers and we encourage everyone with ideas for improving Little Tennis to join the team.
The program has been designed by the United States Professional Tennis Association -- the world's largest and oldest organization of tennis-teaching professionals. It includes a structured program of lessons and play designed to move children ages 3-10 quickly through the transitional stages of graduated equipment to full-court tennis. This Web site also includes many fun games, links and supplemental activities to keep children interested in visiting.
Little Tennis now has over 2,000 participating professionals and sites around the nation and is the fastest growing program for children, families and teachers in the world.
