Kids Tennis Coaching at Shivaji Park
From their first swing to their first match, we build confidence and tennis fundamentals in a fun, supportive environment for kids aged 3 and up.
For our youngest players, tennis is all about having fun. We focus on building a love for the sport with lots of giggles and positive encouragement, making sure their first experience on the court is a happy one.
This is Riaan, who joined us when he was just three and a half. Now at five, his swings are getting stronger every day, showing how consistency from a young age builds a solid foundation.
From scratch to pro, that's our motto. Watch Nia, one of our promising young players, as she develops her strokes and gets ready to compete with her new racket.
Meet Jayati, who has been with us for five years and considers our court her second home. We focus on developing unique talents, like her rare two-handed play on both sides.
For some of our kids, the best part of tennis is the running. We channel that energy into every session, helping players like Shaurya improve their fitness while enjoying the game.
Here's a look at our Under-6 coaching in action. Our senior coaches, Patel Sir and Vaibhav Sir, use dead ball drills to help our youngest players master the basics of forehand and backhand strokes.
Every session starts with a proper warm-up. Here, our young players get their bodies ready for action with dynamic exercises that improve agility and prevent injuries.
We make fitness fun. A little "fitness party" keeps the energy high and ensures our young players are building the stamina and coordination needed for tennis.
Happiness is playing your first tennis matches. Our U-6, U-8, and U-10 players get a taste of friendly competition, learning sportsmanship and how to play under pressure.
About Young Stars in the Making
When the Mumbai rains hit, we don't pack up. Our sessions simply shift from on-court tennis to off-court fitness and agility training, so your child stays active and consistent regardless of the weather. It is all about maintaining that momentum.
We start them young. For our 3 to 5-year-olds, the court is a playground. We use games and soft-ball drills because the primary goal isn't immediate technique, it is about falling in love with the game. We make sure their first experience is filled with positive encouragement and giggles.
As they grow, our Junior Foundation and Drill batches bring in the structure. We focus on:
- Grip and Mechanics: Correcting grips early so they do not develop bad habits.
- Footwork: Teaching them that tennis is played with the feet as much as the hands.
- Fitness: Agility ladder drills and coordination exercises that keep them moving.
We are not just here for the kids who want to win trophies. If you have a child who just wants to run around, learn discipline, and make friends, they will fit right in. For those who do want to compete, we have a clear pathway into our Tournament Performance Program once they are ready.
Training at Shivaji Park Gymkhana means playing on reliable hard courts with floodlights for the late batches. We are strict about discipline, like wearing proper non-marking shoes and being punctual, because that is where the habit of winning starts.
