Ireland's Leaders in Children's Tennis

A fabulous introduction to sport for young children. Encourages young children to take up sport.

"The programme was extremely well structured and the tutors worked wonderfully well with the children. High expectations were set for the children and the pace of the class matched the ability of the class. Each week the child making the most effort was rewarded with a little plaque. Every child was a winner! Some low achieving children got the opportunity to show real sporting ability during the lessons. Children made remarkable progress during the two terms each year. Many of our children have continued to play at home. I am delighted to announce that we are entering our third year with the programme. Our own teachers are also learning how to teach the programme. I wholeheartedly recommend this programme for any school. The professionalism with which it is carried out is second to none.”

“I have found Annette and her team to be of the highest professional standard. Children who are challenged academically are given a chance to shine at something they enjoy. Annette stresses the team element of sport and allows the children to experience success at their own level. Annette and her team have great empathy with children and always inspire them to develop their full potential in terms of sport.”

"A fabulous introduction to sport for young children. Encourages young children to take up sport."

"St Mary’s BNS Booterstown has enjoyed a very positive ten year tennis coaching association with Tennis4kids. During this time we have found their service to the school to be highly professional, punctual, well-structured and child centered .Children look forward to their sessions, which are provided during the course of the school day as part of a modular P.E. programme"

"The Tennis4Kids lessons are all very well planned, highly interactive and differentiated to ensure that all children can access the programme regardless of their ability. We are an Active School but tennis was not a sport previously experienced by our pupils. Since we started the lessons numerous children have taken up the sport outside of school time which is a measure of its popularity! I would highly recommend Tennis4kids to all schools.”

St Raphael’s SGS Sile O'Carroll Principal

"My son is with Tennis4kids for the last year now and absolutely loves it. I feel it is equally mental as well as physical, promoting both strong psychological and physiological development for my son. As my son has Developmental coordination disorder, I feel that it develops his hand-eye coordination, gross and fine motor skills, balance and flexibility. My son looks forward to his coaching class every week.”

“My son started with Tennis4Kids at 5 when he started school. From his very first day he loved it, the learning of new skills, the group games and exercises and his coaches. He’s enjoyed summer, Easter and Halloween camps too. Annette and her team are highly professional but pitch their classes at the appropriate level. To watch him progress has been very rewarding.

"Our son really enjoys his tennis lessons with Tennis4kids. The coaches are very professional and the children get lots of focused attention. Our son has lots of fun and is learning new lifelong skills there. Thank you Annette and all. Our daughter will hopefully start lessons when in primary school also!”

"My son just loves his weekly tennis lessons with Annette. She and her team do an excellent job in teaching the children in a really fun, engaging way. Every month you can see his skills improving. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tennis4kids to any parent and I will definitely be sending my second son to Annette when he’s old enough!"
