TOP-LEVEL TERRAIN

WE TEACH CHILDREN PLAY TENNIS
OD PRVOG TRENINGA
Our program is based on a global campaign International Tennis Federation (ITF) launched to increase tennis participation — where kids play real tennis from the start, instead of just learning technique.
Serve · Exchange shots · Win a point
- Slower, lighter and softer balls give players more time to react and better
control. - Shorter rackets and smaller courts adapted to the child's size allow for development
correct techniques. - Three clear levels — Red, Orange and Green — guide the child all the way to
standard yellow balls.
PROGRAM AGE-APPROVED
The program is structured into seven age levels — from the first shots with the red ball to
full court and competition. Each level has a customized ball, racket, court size and target
techniques that grow with the child.
