ANTS Style Tennis

ANTS style tennis utilizes equipment that has been adopted by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and has been proven to provide children with a better all around experience when playing the game of tennis. ANTS approaches every program with a practice & play method which develops a child 4 x's faster.

By using modified equipment we are able to foster an environment that fills the kids with a feeling of success, fun, achievement, and confidence. In the end, we are able to create well rounded tennis players as well as young boys and girls.

ANTS OPERATES IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS

  • Community Wide Leagues: ANTS fosters an environment that becomes the little league of tennis. With teams all across the community, we provide a structure for kids to learn and play the game in a positive, fun, challenging, and rewarding atmosphere. All players get to play 100% of the time, and in matches are matched against someone else on the other side that is similar to their ability.  In an ANTS league get the awesome experience of the team atmosphere along with the great individual development. It is a win-win situation in ANTS! All teams must have a head coach and an assistant coach, and all coaches must attend the ANTS training seminar for that communities specific league. Leagues are usually 6 weeks long with 1 practice during the week and 1 match on the weekend!
  • Inter School Leagues: Same as our Community Wide Leagues, except here we try to incorporate our team structure within the school according to grade. Just like you can get on your schools basketball team, you can now get on your schools tennis team!
  • After School Programs: ANTS offers quality instruction classes to after school programs. Even though it is more of a program development structure, we still emphasize team. We utilize our very own all-inclusive "partner work" philosophy and make sure that we develop the group as a whole as well as the individual. We also utilize our practice & play method in our After School Programs.
  • Summer Camps: ANTS knows that everyone wants to play more tennis during the summer! We often set up summer camps that supplement the time between our after school programs and community wide leagues.  This is where the children get a chance to play hours and hours of their favorite sport!
  • Community Wide Ants Programs/Academies: After one session, two, or five, most children fall in love with sport and want more! That is where our Academies come into play. These are for the children who have decided tennis is the sport they want to get good at. We foster a philosophy that focuses on developing the players strengths and weaknesses, foundations, and life skills.
