At Kelly Simons Total Tennis®, we see tennis as a lifestyle sport that prepares kids for friendly competition and fun are valued in equal measures. Take these KSTTSaturday Superstars™, who learn and practice together in a regular group lesson every week. Taking lessons together helps the girls not only to develop the coordination, flexibility, strength, and stamina that comes with regular tennis coaching, practice and play, but also communication skills, cooperation, and confidence that will serve them off the court throughout their lives.
These girls have an especially good KSTTWinners for Life™program because their parents also come with them to the lesson and take turns practicing with them. That's more than a tennis lesson for a tennis family--it's a tennis lifestyle in a community of friends. The only thing that makes us happier than the progress these girls have made on their groundstrokes and rallies is their commitment to friendship, fitness, and fun that will last a lifetime! WAY TO GO, GIRLS!
