Beginner courses for children – a first step into tennis
Does your child want to try tennis? At Ullevi Tennis Club, we offer beginner courses for children aged 5-10 years. The courses are aimed at children who have never played before or may have tried it out once – and it is a playful, safe, and fun way to get started.
We offer two different options to begin with:
Try-it-out course – 4 weeks
Our trial course is a short and playful introduction to tennis, where children have the chance to try the sport without any prior knowledge. It is a safe and inspiring start where we mix movement, play, and basic tennis elements – perfect for those who want to see if tennis can become a new interest.
What do we do in the course?
✔ Learn how the racket and ball work together
✔ Practice simple strokes, movements, and getting the ball over
✔ Try moving on the court and collaborating with others
✔ Get introduced to how the game works – rules, scoring, and match play
✔ Build confidence through playful exercises and joy of movement
✔ No prior knowledge required
✔ Racket loan included
✔ The goal is to try tennis in a fun and safe way and see if the child wants to continue
After the course is completed, one can register for another 4-week period or choose to continue in our semester course.
Term course – full term
Our term course is the next step for those who know that the child wants to practice tennis a bit more regularly. The course is at the same beginner level as the trial course but extends over a whole semester, which provides time to develop at a steady pace.
What do we do during the term?
✔ Learn the basics of forehand, backhand, and serve – adjusted for age
✔ Train to keep the game going and place the ball
✔ Develop movement patterns on the court, footwork, and coordination
✔ Play simple match exercises and learn more about rules and teamwork
✔ Have fun in a group and build a secure foundation for future training
✔ No prior knowledge required
✔ Racket loan included
✔ The goal is to further develop and eventually join our regular tennis school
