Play! Tennis

Looking for a group tennis lesson for kids? Tennis classes at Play! Tennis take place at their fully air-conditioned studio, which has a private indoor court that is specially designed for children. The mini tennis court facilitates the learning process. We hear kids who start their lessons on a mini court progress faster compared to those who start in a full-sized court. We especially love that tennis lessons here won’t be rained off (or get uncomfortably hot and sweaty) thanks to the indoor aircon. That also means mamas and dads watching can sit in comfort too! The open concept of the studio gives you the perfect view of the lesson so you can cheer on your little tennis star. Play! Tennis has more than 100 positive reviews for its team of passionate and qualified tennis coaches in Singapore. If you want your tennis coach to come to you, know that Play!
