Tennis for 18 - 24/25 month year olds?

[Lauren212]

Hi,

Would anyone who has a child between 18 - 24/25 months be interested in starting up a group for tennis classes at the Pines on Stevens Road? They currently do not have classes for that age group there, but said if we got together a group of children around the same age, they could implement one.

Details are:
- 45 min long lessons with age appropriate skills (mostly coordination, ball skills etc..)
- Advantage will provide equipment
- $37.50/weekday
- date/time can we worked out together

If interested, let me know!

Why do you wanna hurt those kids in such an early age...let them grow up

Hm, interesting comment posted.

Wondering how would it hurt them by letting them throw around balls and beanbags, letting them explore tennis raquets and working on their listening and coordination skills? Letting them run around and get familiar with a court? sounds all fun to me![/quote]

I would say its too early for a 2 yr old to do this....allow them to grow...you can do this once they are 5+ yrs old

i will disagree with you there especially as an early good educator. parents should capitalize on their child's natural interests and expose them to new things. my son loves sports! he does socatots and has a blast!

i am sorry you feel that way, but to each their own!

I agree with Blue thunder. Children should have fun but been Hot housed

i actually don't see what the big deal is - all these programs like tennis and socatots just work on the child's coordination and other basic skills that you would want them to know. sounds like fun to me if you son can manage it!
