What to expect from a kids' tennis class for school-age kids

Kids' tennis in NYC follows the red-orange-green ball progression: children under 8 play on shortened courts with soft, low-bounce balls and lighter rackets, so they can rally almost from the first lesson. Classes are typically an hour, in groups of 4 to 8 with one pro, and move from rallying games to strokes and then to point play as kids get older. Indoor bubbles and clubs run year-round; park and rooftop programs are seasonal. Most programs provide rackets for the youngest groups, and sneakers with non-marking soles are required on hard courts. For school-age children (5 to 12), programs split by ability as much as by age, and this is the band with the widest choice: recreational classes, leagues with games, competitive tracks and multi-week camps. After-school and weekend slots dominate; weekday daytime programs in this band are mostly school-break camps.
