Psychology Of 10-Under Tennis

Parents will be happy to learn that our 10-Under Tennis offers a diverse array of opportunities for your child’s psychological development.

This tennis encourages autonomy, mastery (competence), and relatedness. Kids like to do what they can do well, especially when it’s fun. Limited attention spans increase in early development. Tennis exercise boosts cognitive development.

Let tennis discover your child. For 10-Under Tennis information, call (989) 631-6151.
