A Unique Approach

The KTG approach to connecting with young ones is to teach through storytelling and using our imagination. Kids take part through activities by performing adventurous play disguised as technical skills in order to prep them for the fundamentals of tennis. Each lesson is theme oriented to incorporate fun from start to finish.
