Sioux Falls Tennis Association

2024-Youth Lessons

Welcome

Welcome to the 2024 Youth Summer Lessons Registration with Sioux Falls Tennis Association!

Due to overwhelming participation the 4-6 age group classes are now limited to 12 students!!!

Extra class times have been added to accommodate.

 

The goal of the SFTA Junior Tennis Program is to either introduce participants to the sport of tennis or improve the skills of players with previous experience.  The SFTA uses the Red, Orange, Green, and Yellow ball format, which uses equipment and court sizes appropriate to a child’s size and age. All lessons for students ages 4-8 will be held at Laurel Oaks Park due to the court size that is appropriate to that age group. With this format, children will be able to more quickly understand and play the sport, experience greater success, and have more fun. The only equipment needed for lessons are tennis shoes and a tennis racquet, which will be provided if you do not have one. Additionally, please send water every day with your child. Please understand we have no control over the weather and try our best to deal with rain and heat issues and cannot offer refunds due to this.

If financial cost for any of the SFTA programs proves prohibitive, please contact the SFTA (351-1631) for Connecting Kids (United Way) scholarship information.

 

This registration session will allow you to complete contact information, sign up for participation, and submit payment.  Please read through each page carefully to ensure that all information is provided accurately. 

To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa or MasterCard information available.
