Tennis PLUS
Tennis PLUS is a FREE program for kids of all ages to learn beginner tennis while having fun and building confidence.
Kids ages 7 and up are welcome to join our wonderful coaches for beginner tennis practice and character development through our Mindful Mentor program.
Kids will learn the basics of tennis and everything they need to know to rally, keep score, and play a match! Each lesson includes one hour of tennis and thirty minutes of mindfullness, so kids can keep their heads in the game . . . on and off the court!
Match Play
AK Match Play is a competitive play opportunity for kids who can rally, serve, and score.
Advantage Kids Match Play is open to middle/high school students. It is an organized competitive playing feeder program for kids wanting to take their game to the next level. There is instruction on strokes and focused match play strategy to gain experience and prepare kids to play middle school and high school tennis. We are also working on the inner game of tennis by analyzing mindfulness and awareness that goes on in an actual match. This is a great opportunity for kids who can rally, serve, and keep score.
Advantage Kids Dover Chapter participates in the Seacoast Middle School Tennis League. Head Coach Sue Vitko leads a dozen players in team matches throughout the Seacoast.
