| MIGHTY MITES PROGRAM |

Offering children the opportunity to learn tennis correctly at a young
age is a great gift. We believe it is crucial that people have great coaching
at the beginning of their tennis experience, and that is why we have some of
our most capable and experienced teachers leading this program. Our extensive
use of modified equipment allows students the opportunity to develop full
strokes and advanced skills, and to successfully play the game in a court
suited to their age and physical size. Session #1: September 13 – December 7 (no
classes October 11-12, Thanksgiving) Session #2: January 10 – April 5 (no

Canada for ages 5-7, takes place on the ‘Half-Court’ (12m) and uses foam balls
